History
This started as a full black sedan as Lee had origionaly planned. Was sporting a nice 78ci flathead engine with a nice supercharger a few years later. We moved from MA to WI and met up with a bunch of guys that were into hot rods.. as they say things changed. it went from a standard rolling piece of histtory to a rubber burning 600hp Hot Rod.
