Hello, I ll take pictures. I ve got 2 of these monsters and I love them!! They are really big cars and not so much buses that most people think. The doors are made in the vein of 60s,with just the chrome frame as the glass surround. The B and C door pillars are thin and free standing,all this and throw on a blind quarter with graceful fastback.I ve been around high quality custom bodied classics all my life,as my parents were collectors in the 50s,they owned A. Sloan s V-12 conv.cp.for 20 years before selling to D. Gold. Point being,I m very impressed with the level of craftmanship and interior design appointments,in a post war world most of this was lost in the hey-day of American custom body builders,with maybe the exception of an occassional Derham Cad t/c. H&E carried on in a lost art,and all this time I thought they were just into vehicles for the President or your last-ride. Thanx Chris
