Devin is/was a company that made aftermarket bodies for use on other frames, etc. I remember hearing about them in the late 50's to early 60's. I've never seen one personally. Chuck

I THINK that was the same car that got shot down hard by the vintage rce board a few months ago.
There is a big difference in valve between a devin kit and the actual cars produced by devin
