Of the two, this one retained it’s mechanical brakes, and although its underside was knocked for excessive pitting, it was awarded its Dearborn for absolute perfection but for the weathered underside, no rust present, painted of course. Jack Hogan was pleased with both cars, but this one, he had not foreseen turning out as good as it did. After its first showing, Jack was advised on concealment of the brake floaters he had installed, which makes the car more roadworthy. He did take that advice, and the floaters became undetectable unless disassembled, which of course is never part of any EFV8CA Concourse.
This is the one that had been restored to become a driver, the other to be the show car, both shown together at their first outing. I’ve forgotten the details of the other one, but as I recall, it had several minor issues to take care of before the next show, this one (as I recall), only the brake floaters being obvious.
So many years ago, my memory not as it once was, I judged both cars for thier first three meets. Seldom does any first time showing produce so few discrepancies, and of course, being “twins”, they enjoyed that notoriety.
