Dino, you opened a can of worms. I think your original pic has gone the route of Buggy Whip Factories!! 😆
Hey Dino,I believe Ralph is still kicking.Loosing his son,and his eye sight dwindling,he’s slowed down his pace working on hot rods.The white Anglia with the blue lined accent was once my partner Bill and mine(just the body).In 64 the ‘gasser’ trend was leading to Anglias.We were going to retire the Willys and run an Anglia.After chopping the top(that’s how far we got),Uncle Sam sent me his greetings.This put the ‘kabash’ on racing,me in the service,and my partner with 4 kids ans a wife to support.Around the same time ‘Coney Island Ralph’ flipped his red Anglia down at ‘E’ town (an employee ran across the shut down area to remove debris when Ralph hit the traps,and Ralph avoided hitting him).At this point,Ralph needed a ‘body’.In the situation we were in,we sold the roller ‘body’ only to Ralph.It went to a ‘good’ home for sure.Last i know it was seen at Atco in the early 70’s.
