Sorry for posting off topic.

I have one account on this site only and does not see any reason to create ten accounts. I am not a novice in the sense that the interest rare cars since from 1991 and from that date my collection of original papers.

You would first reported the name of the car and manufacturer, and then block the topic.

Built by Spohn in 1951-2, on a 1941 Ford brought from the U.S. by Army Air Force Major Jack T. Chandler.

Yes indeed. Believed to be the first such Spohn body, actually made to Major Chandler's own design and even referred to as "The Spohn" in some places, it set the trend for quite a few designs on the theme.

I believe Spohn did the custom coachwork on this car in 1952 based on its windshield as well as the dates of magazine articles covering it.   Major Chandler, whose hometown was Huntsville, Texas, was unfortunately killed in a jet training accident with the USAF in 1959.   The car was seen near Houston as late as 1970.
