My aunt was a telephone operator in Detroit when Steve Scott called and I guess he asked her some information about the Detroit Auto Show. They hooked up while he was in town. When he told her he had to go back to California she said 'I have a nephew in Van Nuys that would LOVE to see this car. He actually brought this thing over and dropped it off in the street in front of my house so that I and all of my friends could check it out! Then, he gave me the three (framed) publicity photos. They hung on my walls for many years. I wish I still had them. And, of course I built the model. I was about seven years old at the time. I'm glad to see it back on the show circuit. I saw it again on Sepulveda Blvd later in the late 70s after it had been painted gold. An important piece of automotive history.
