Francis Ford Coppola also has one.
ReplyDeleteSo I read, but when I went to the Coppola Museum website, and google images of that museum, the only car shown is his Tucker. So, since I could find no evidence to support that claim, I didn't include it. But thanks for backing up that claim... any idea where the Coppola museum has the rest of it's car collection?
DeleteHe has a handful of cars stashed away that are not in the Museum. Jay Leno had him on "Jay Leno's Garage" It was a good interview. This link is a teaser: http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000462099

thank you! I wonder if we'll learn why or how this one escaped the crusher

ReplyDeleteAtlanta. You can read, can't you? If your next question is "Where in Atlanta" my next answer is in a parking garage. Since it's not like you are going to go find the car, it really doesn't matter which one. But if you can't rest until you discover which garage, look in the ones that in purely for businesses, not at the malls. AKA, downtown
