    Does anybody have any history or photographs of this car beyond the images shown in the Henry Rasmussen, Salute to the Spyder, book or the R&T 1991 article? As I understand it, the original family that still owns it today keeps it well hidden. If I am incorrect in that assumption, I would love to learn where / when it may be shown. I would rather own this car then pretty much anything else ever made...

    Thanks,

    Greg

    I presume they still have the car. I have had the great pleasure of meeting Bob (the son). Of course the first chance I got, I steered the conversation toward the car. He talked about driving it and winding it up pretty well. In the western US, those opportunities are there- if you're judicious.
    I guess the way I'd look at it is this- for a few people, you can offer them a billion dollars for something and they can honestly reply that they've already got a billion. At that point, whatever it is of theirs that you want you're probably going to have to wait until they get tired of it.
    I haven't seen any other photos of 0460AM but they may be out there. The car seems to be in the hands of a family that appreciates what they have and appreciates it for what it is. Maybe for this one, that has to be enough.

    Best,
    Dave

    Actually, the owner is worth that (and then some).

    Sold new to the late Willametta "Willie" Keck Day. Still with one of her sons.

    As above. My choice of that number in my example was not accidental. ;)
