Remember a '62 FI, big brake car?

[Steven B.]

Does anyone remember/know current location of a '62 Roman Red FI, big brake/suspension, 5 1/2" wide wheels car in the Hudson/Manitou, MI area in the 1962-4 time frame?

Thanks!

And speaking of that, does anyone have a big tank car with the hole on the filler door and the cap on the outside of the door?
If so, can you post pictures of such (inside and outside of door).
I CANNOT find my pictures of the one that was at the Joplin regional back in the 90s!

Corbett, it may be. I doubt if there were many in the area. As I recall it had a hardtop, the 5 1/2 wide wheels were correct red with hubcaps, and blackwalls. I am uncertain of the interior color. It was parked in a driveway on or near a corner of a small white house. IIRC we were travelling east and turned north (left) on our way between Indiana and Clark Lake near Jackson. It looked bone stock. We passed it about 8:30-9:00 am and when we returned that evening it was not there.

I wish I had a picture. My guess is those cars are rare enough and that was possibly the car.

The diabolical Dipstick Dennis Clark should be able to furnish all the pictures you need.

There's another in the Detroit area. A Corvette Club of Michigan member has one.

Bill, do you know the history of the car? Was it a MI car in the 60's? There are a couple of lucky guys out there with those cars.

Thanks!

I remember he had the '62 under restoration in the mid-70s and he had owned the car for years. He also has a red '57 FI 684 car. Twice lucky...
