Do you recognize this car?
I just bought a 65 coupe restoration project. Somebody back in 60s or so decided to go Dr Seuss. Nose is cut off of it now, and rear deck has proper shape. In faded paint on door is Marty Siegler. 74 NY inspection sticker. I was wondering if anybody knows anything about its history.
This photo was on key chain.
As always, Thanks! Tim

Still hoping somebody out there has seen this thing in the past. Would love to know more about it.
It is a numbers matching, fully optioned L79 so I plan to bring it back to as close to original as I can. All the accessories are still there, but that means I have to learn how to fix ac, ps,pb, windows etc. So it should keep me busy for years. If my body holds up that long!
