Pics 2007

(Dec 2007) My car (R5089) was bought new in Downers Grove Illinois. It was the first one ordered and the third delivered. Egbert and Loewy used to run around in it and they made improvements. This is the first "thick back "seat car. The second owner was John Shanahan and the third was Mark Dahl who sold it to me and my son. R-5089 still has its original engine. Powershift with a 4:55 axle It is out of the car and the short block has been rebuilt by AUTO MACHINE in St.Charles IL., by the same company that did Ron Hall's engines. This car has only 43.000 miles and had a Buick engine installed at one time. Jim Pepper had the original block and graciously sold it to me. Robert Kapteyn (SDC Forum)
