Description
This car is an early 1957 car built January 28th the last of the T1 body with the signature Beehive tail lights and over rider bumper bars which are the most classic looking of all the designs. This car like most every Speedster made was destined to be delivered to the sunny USA, equipped with beautiful USA over rider bumpers. This car was lucky to have been originally sold in dry & hot Texas where it completely escaped snow, rain, and other rust causing environmental conditions. Ownership and records are present from the late 1980s. Oldest know history is well known Speedster restored Roy Smalley bought this car in Dallas Texas in the mid-1980s. Roy said that this car was in unbelievable original condition when it was found so that only the lightest restoration was done and there was no need to disassemble the entire chassis.
Since the car was very original when found, back when original 356 parts were still available from the dealer, the car retained most all of its original parts and almost no reproduction parts were used. The current paint job, completed by Roy in ’89, was a bare metal Glassurit job in the original Ruby Red color. This paint is in fantastic shape. The transmission was numbers matching to the car, the engine had been replaced with a correct appearing more powerful 356 engine. After Roy sold the car the last owner brought the car out to California to his vacation house. Traveling back and forth between 2 different houses depending on the time of year meant that the Speedster saw less than 3000 miles since the restoration. A three owner car since new
