There is a guy in Chicago that is restoring one of these right now. It is not the exact same care but close. There were 12 of these made and only 8 in existence and the one he is working on is the only one that hasn’t been restored.
Currently the car is in France getting body work done.
He just got a copy of the original drawings from the car too. Each of these cars, although the same model all had it’s unique characteristics.

About Jason Fried
Jason co-founded Basecamp back in 1999. He also co-authored REWORK, the New York Times bestselling book on running a "right-sized" business. Co-founded, co-authored... Can he do anything on his own?
