Shelbyman,
You may have known John Cooper from Mi. He owned the largest privatly held conveyor/line assenbly plants in N America. Whe I refer to the 45-50 collection, it is John's.
He was a real focus in the Bird Clubs for many years.
Supercharged F birds and more.
It sounds like you have a difficult to spell last name, so do I, why Big Jim Cowles penned me " John From Utah, which stuck.
As I mentioned, Louis was a fine lady, right place at the right time too.
Bill, I have not ordered the book. A historian from Italy, of which assisted in the books writing, contacted me after a post I did on a Intermeccanica that was being publicly sold. Bid to about 125K. as I recall, no sale, but next day was announced it roughly sold at 185K. Which sellers thought was still to cheap, but finished deal anyway. Seller wanted over 200K . Its color highly resembles the Calypso red used by ford, drop dead stunning color.
Reisner family, which built the cars in Italy back in the 60's-70's, restored the Italia for him. My opinion is it had many faults as far as being a Concour example for points showing.
Show the pic if you want of the H/M facility.
Respectfully,
John
