History
Paul Harriott's 1912 T C cab
Bought by Paul in the late 70s and driven to a few rod runs before being sold to Alan Cooper who still has it to this day although it has been dissasembled.
Story By Alan Cooper
In 79, as a
way back into rodding, Cheryl and I bought the one and only 1912 C-Cab
replica that had been around the runs during 74 -78. The car was
neglected and had no engine or trans. I had new fenders and valences made
by Dave Robinson and fiddled with the car many times but could never quite decide
what style to build it. It still sits stripped down awaiting a new
lease on life. I still think it will happen, many do not.
