To: Da Bilge Troll
Another American icon and legend gone. He was a man of no airs, in spite of what he had accomplished. I lived near him in Playa Del Rey, Calif. He could have driven anything, but chose a huge Ford station wagon with fake wood siding. He earlier had built his wife a Cobra with auto trans. Dunno how many of those got built, suspect very few. What a collectors item that would be.

RIP

Interesting.

On that note, nevermind his business treasure, nearly any car in his collection could make someone flithy rich.

Two. The other was built for Cosby:

"It'll have 'automatic shift,' don't hafta worry 'bout no clutch. I'm havin' one built for me..."
