The original owner passed away from agent orange exposure aquired while in Nam.
He had hand controls on the car as he was paralyzed from the waist down from being shot in the back. Those controls were removed in the 80's when his uncle had the car. I thought maybe that's why there isn't a park brake lever. That maybe that's where they put the hand brake, but found out through conversations with Joel, that the park brake had to be removed to make room for the hone o drive unit.

You guys need to learn how to Google.

My 30 second search of&quot;baldwin motion&quot; &quot;1972&quot; &quot;paralyzed' came up with the original owners (David Akenbauer from Covington Ky) life story.

I am happy to announce that this car will be joining us at MCACN 2011 in our second annual &quot;Motion Madness&quot; Invitational display.

I am sure that Joel and Marty will have all kinds of neat stories about this one!
