BC80LAR May 60 UK Irving Geist Cliff Alexander USA

Update January 2002:

From Cliff Alexander:

My car belonged originally to Irving Geist (1900-1970) who was an apparel manufacturer and developer, as well as a leader in services for rehabilitating disabled war veterans.

BC80LAR was in a bad fire while in storage after Geist died. Richard Scott of Sidney, Ohio purchased the remains, sold it to me, and D&D Classic Auto of Covington, Ohio, has done a complete frame-off restoration.

The photos at right were taken at the 2000 RROC National Meet in Lexington, Kentucky. IT was not fully restored (A/C and heater not working, boot cover and battery cover missing, etc.) but it is finished now and I plan to show it at the 2002 RROC Meet at The Homestead in Virginia.

Included here are some of the photos taken before the restoration.
