  10. They own it. it's a 1949, They gave it to Vassar College back in the 70's and Got it back in the early 90's, They have been an awesome job restoring her.
  11. Mark, thats what the FWD will look like when your done.
  12. The 911 center has a memorial there, but it's not the Exempts, so if you don't own it, you can't control it.

  19. Based on the bumper it's a 1947, 48. ALF only had a round bumper with the grill on orders placed before 49. Half way through 49 they went tp the square bumper. The picture shows many upgrades over the years
