Default Who owns this car?

I’ve seen this car posted on the forum in the past but can’t remember the owner. This picture is in the April 2019 issue of Hemmings Classic Car Magazine.

Yes Steve, I would be the guilty party. That is a photo Hemming's used in a piece they did about 6 years ago. The guy behind the wheel is not me but less handsome Michael LeBrecque who owns the shop where we built it.

I can't see it. I see 1/4 of the top of the photo and the rest is blacked out.

That’s very odd. Looks fine on my iPhone. I haven’t tried on my laptop.

It's a black 60's era Plymouth "sleeper". Maybe Dan will post a picture of his car. I can see the photo OK on my iphone and my laptop so I don't know what the problem is.

Thanks, guys, I know the car. The one with the Mothra front end. I always loved the '61's, and blew it 15 years ago by not buying a nice '61 Fury for $3000. I haven't even seen one since. As a side note for movie buffs, Dana Andrews and Jeanne Crane were driving a '61 Plymouth 4 door (repainted pea soup green) as the 'victims' in that 1967 Silver Screen Classic Hot Rods to Hell.

“Mothra front end” - that’s good, hadn’t heard it before. The image will stick in my mind!

Here are a few more, I posted these before I saw the ones posted above. Hemmings Muscle Machines wrote it up in August of 2008. I appreciate your admiration. I have to say, I find myself staring at it a lot, and sometimes I feel it staring at me. The best thing about it is that it runs and sounds exactly the way it looks.
