The drawing in Jim Kaminski"s newletter was an idea drawn by Jon Gaspar of Nebraska, a fan of Isleros in the "80s and early "90s.He thought a convertible that looked like his drawing could have been a great selling idea.Although it might have inspired the work on Oliver"s car, it had no other connection with it.As far as I can tell, the Oliver Kuttner car (#6279) never has been finished, although much of the body work was completed and a run of perhaps 5 windshields were made.Bodywork was widened in the rear for fit of large tires on SV wheels.I have a picture (not a good one) that I will post as I am able (new computer on the way so I can resume working on Islero info).
