| Vehicle History | In 1960, my (Dan Faulkner’s) grandfather, Arnold Faulkner saw this car in a barn owned by the Carus family at their summer home in St. Joseph, Michigan. The family purchased the car when it was new. It had been damaged by vandals, so my grandfather offered to move it to his own barn, where it would be safer. Mrs. Carus agreed to this. A few years later she called him to say that he could keep the car! He intended to restore it as a retirement project, but never got around to it. In 1987, he gave the car to me (Dan Faulkner). |
