    Re: Kissimmee Pictures-Please

    Well, got back safe and sound from the NCRS Winter Regional. What a treat it was to inspect the real #029. It was so nice to meet the owner. What a nice lady. She was very appreciative of the NCRS and everyone else involved. NCRS awarded her a Certificate of Appreciation for displaying the REAL #029 for everyone to inspect and admire.

    The car has an original, hand laid, one piece floor pan, among other unique characteristics. Much different than a later production press molded floor pan. It was believed that only about the first 25 or so cars had this characteristic. There were also some other pieces that are different than any other 53's I have seen. There were about 12 family members there for the weekend. The owner also provided documentation back to the mid 60's.

    Ken Kayser and I conducted an informational session saturday afternoon about the history and characterisitics of the Flint assembled cars and in particular, #029. "Hats off" to Ken for his contributions to this story.

    Mrs. Rupe and the family members who came to the show.

        Here's one I thought quite interesting, looks like a 67 riding a roller coaster:



        I think that was John Ballards 67 Bowtie.

        Had a great time at the event.

          You are correct, that was John's 67 convertible.
