Barry, if you would like, we could work on getting some of this material assembled into a front page feature for us to use here on this site.  Any chance you would be okay with that?

Here's an article I wrote on my car back in '04. I've made some discoveries about my car since I wrote it so it's generally, but not totally, accurate.

Do you, by chance, have the text from some of these articles in a text file or a copy and paste format?

Sorry, no.

I do have another article on my car that will be in the Oct. '07 issue of Hemming's Classic Car. Anyone interested in a preview of the article can email me at barry2952@twmi.rr.com and I will send you a PDF of the article. Dan strohl was nice enough to let me have a copy as long as I don't post it anywhere. I would ask that anyone that requests a copy would honor their request.

Any interest in reading an article on my "Toybox" trailer project?

The October issue of Hemming's Classic Car features our '56 Mark II convertible.

IF you'll PM your e-mail address I'll send back a much more legible PDF.

If you send me the PDF I can attach it to the site for people to link to it.

You can attach .pdf files yourself via the Additional Options checkbox just below the posting box.

Great to see this car again! The first time I saw it was on supercars.net a while ago.
 I think it's such a stunner and that trailer you made is just as wonderfull :)

Yeah, not often does the trailer hauling the superstar become a star in it's own right. 

That Airstream Trailer is a fricking brilliant idea and extremely well executed.
