Holy cow! Now, it doesn't usually snow like that in Arizona. If this isn't Lloyd Groshong's car, then it is a new find not listed in the NDC registry. This fellow has a lot of fantastic forward lookers!

This has got to be Bo Malefors.

I have heard tale about a car like this in Fairbanks Alaska. Blue with a black top. A fellow's uncle owned it and passed recently. He said in Fairbanks, parts were not readily available. The old De Soto's water pump gave out and it sat. But this one looks more parted-out than I expected from the tale told to me. Maybe it is Groshong's? Maybe it is the mysterious Fairbanks car? Maybe it is neither?

It looks a LOT like that Firedome that went from Jeff Nichols to Max Sokolov...
hard to tell, but I don't see holes for the Fireflite trim buttons. I can't read the speedometer script.

Wow! Is this where someone screams this is the deal of the century?

If memory serves, Groshong's car is a very flatline TAN with white color combo, so this is likely
a new find. I am confused about all the color I am seeing .... red dash, a very tired blue-grey and
white over a soft yellow-green ? All these colors did not come from the same car. Wonder what
the background is ?

As I always say, ... for every one known in the hobby, there are likely that many more still hiding
in barns and garages out there somewhere.

Not really a bad price, if you want a balls deep project. At least one is now available, after that maybe no more for a long time. 519 made. I have 2 project cars that are at the top of my list, a senior series 58 Desoto vert being the other. But no more for me. The other 58 Max had for sale was this one.
