Location: Parts Unknown		This is a 57 Firesweep. It is most certainly not an Adventurer.

but if you put Adventurer in the ebay title you catch the guys with deep pockets! sneaky!

Yes the color reminds me of some kind of rubber duck meets a hipster 70's couch green...

It's got "sportsman" script on the fender. Is that worth anything?

5000500050005000200050025
Location: Parts Unknown		The yellow-green combo was popularly advertised through the era, but I
don't recall that many on the road. There is a 60 Buick in these colors here
in the area. Top goes down AND it has power windows too !

Yeah, ... mention "Adventurer" to chum for fools. Well, I suppose the basic
dash, doors, and rear clip are the same. Windshield and side glass too.
Beyond that, not much. Why not just "celebrate" that it's a cool Firesweep
with a great, non-red-n-white paint ?

You know, this is such a 50's car thing ... bullsh!t by association. You never
see this kind of BS hype when dealing with Model T trucks or similar.

Location: The Mile High City		Opposite color scheme to Wayne Maddox's Fireflite Sportsman sedan. Although, looking at Wayne's the colors are much brighter on the car for sale.

Hi, Antonello:

Those pictures were taken in the Forney Transportation Museum in Denver, Colorado. There was a temporary Forward Look display earlier this year. You can check out more pictures on this thread

Location: York County, PA		I like the car for sale, I think the color is so unusual that it will draw a lot of attention. I just could not afford it.
