Built by Ray Pirkola in Duluth, MN in the early '50s.
                  Ray changed it many times over the years - 
                  paint, bodywork, engines, etc and showed it a lot.
                  He eventually sold it in 1969.  
                  It was painted again and sold again in the early '70s.  
                  Rick drove it for several years and parked it in the early '80s.
                  I have LOVED this car since I first saw in about 1979.
                  I watched it over the years and Rick was fin
                
                
                  ally ready to pass it on.
