I was looking up the date for the Portland Roadster Show (61st annual, March 17-19, FYI) and stumbled across a b&w picture of a car that is very important to me because I saw it on the streets of McMinnville, OR when it was new.

John Corno owned it in the 1970s, but it was built by Ron Courtney. It had a sectioned body, 53 Studebacker pans with matching custom bumpers front and rear and hand-crafted fins with a scoop at the root and and red plexiglass tail-lights bigger than a '59 Chevy's.
