I remember dropping Bill K's Daytona Coupe off at your shop and wondered how I could sneak that one in between ERA 188 (almost identical to yours) and ERA 234 without my wife seeing it . A truly great looking and sounding car.

Thanks for your kind words Bill and I too remember you and "He who's name we do not speak " old joke!! Bill Karns came to my shop with the first factory Five coupe that came through our doors and I still have the photos:-)
I have a new and bigger place now and as you can see in the photo my ERA 148 adorns my show floor during the winter months and if all goes well I hope to have a GT-40 there :-)

I thought Bill K was the "old joke"

Not sure he hangs out here any more, this whole "slowing down in his old age" thing.

The coupe now resides in Rehoboth Beach, Del, I put the deal together a few years back.
