Talked to Don Rook tonight and it is a 1956 Dodge and was a local car. 
A local guy has an old car lot and it's been in the back for the last 3 
years. Looks like he sold it today. Don found it 10 years or so ago.
Still would be interesting to hear more of what the original deal was 
on these cars.
