I thought if the guys knew what they were looking for then it might help Chris find his missing dream car. Here is a link to some photos of the 1956 Gaylord Gladiator.

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Sorry, I know this is not an ACD product, but I've been trying to track down the current owner for about three years.
Brooks Stevens designed it in 1956 and I believe three prototypes were built. One is gone and the other two (a car and a chassis) were at the Early American Museum in Florida in the 1970s. The museum is now closed. I've looked everywhere for information--even contacting Brooks Stevens Design, I got no reply from them.
So, does anyone out there not strictly loyal to ACD cars (
) know of its current whereabouts? Thanks!
