When you get that original hot rod magazine, post a picture of the cover. I probably have it, and would like to read the article and see if there is anything more that can be determined about the car.
It must have been a nice body to command that kind of money back then.

And he's right, I would not own Mr. Hiboy today.

No, my collection is a mess. It is scattered between my bedroom, my bathroom, and the bulk of them are at our shop, filling 5 of those 6 foot high metal shelf units, so it will be a little bit of digging. But I pretty much can recognize a magazine and tell if I have it or not, as I have read them so many times.
BTW, what are you doing up at this unGodly hour? Isn't it like 4:30 AM in California??

The July '72 issue of Rod & Custom had a build up feature of the car in the "Garage Scene" section. You may want to find that issue as well.

To me digging up the history of a car is as interesting as the build itself. My 28 Hupp has been in my family since it was new and only now, almost 80yrs later, is the car being modified from being original. Thanks for sharing, and keep up informed with the dig!

Yep. It’s pretty sad.
