Stavanzer,
Thank you so much for your help! I have two of his model cars with me, but I can get the rest and post them all later this evening!
I am posting images of my two favorites, I think one of them is as close to a fancy car as I’ll ever get!
The first two images are of the 1947 Kurtis Sprint car and the rest are from a Bugatti Type 35 (the paperwork says it’s one of ten models by Art Collection Auto). Do forgive any reflections, I’m afraid to take off the case!
And my Grandfather, though an avid collector, was not a builder. Spooker, my grandfather’s name was Frederick (Dick) Place! I’m unsure if he was active in the community, though!
Again, thank you so much! I will post all photos this evening to see if anyone has any info!
Sincerely,
A now hopeful and excited Granddaughter
