    You are correct Matt167, Rick Figari does own the original coupe today. Rick lives in San Fransico but Rick is not the one who restored the coupe, that honor goes to Steve Fitch from Witchita Kansas. Steve lives about 2 1/2 hours from me and I have been to Steve's house and got the REAL STORY on the original coupe. The story he tells sure is a lot different than what Figari tells in all the magazines.

    I searched our local Grafetti Events calendar, but not sure if the car will be here this year. This is a must event for you and your car!

    Hey stovens,

    Believe it or not but I have already been contacted by these guys to have my coupe come out and do their show (when I get it finished of course). I will charging for rides in the coupe (down the same streets Milner cruised on) and I will be giving ALL the money to this groups charities. These are REALLY a GREAT BUNCH OF PEOPLE!!!
