#6 – 1948 Norman Timbs Special
This pristine beauty wasn’t always so graceful, especially in the 1990s. It lived in the desert and just deteriorated too much. However, in 2002, during a Barrett Jackson auction, someone bought the car for the sum of $17,600. The new owner began a restoration. The body of the car was about 90% original.
The 2010 Amelia Island Concours saw its restoration debut where it won ‘The RM Auctions Trophy For the Best Open Car.’ Sadly, in 2018, the California fire labeled the ‘Camp Fire’ destoryed the car the car. According to the records, 2018 was the most destructive wildfire season on record in California so far. We now wonder if someone could cut the wheels down to three and construct a cool custom trike?
