J212 was a wreck when I saw it.It was an unusual phaeton with a
weird moulding on the body.SJ528 looked like the back side of a bad
day in 1953 but it sure looks good now.It is a Brunn CS,one of three built.

The car looks now as it did originally and nothing like the picture in Elbert, for which the world can be grateful.

I have a friend who has an 8-100 two door Brougham with artillery wheels and it has had some interior work done and it looks good.Did these cars use a carpet or did they have rubber floor mats when they were new?

Bob,
They originally had a rubber mat up front, carpeting in the rear.

Hello Bob,
here is a link to an old photo of J-329, I don't know if that Body-Design is the original (as build in 1931) Murphy design.

For me it looks like the car has been restyled in the "Zeitgeist" of the late 30ies/early 40ies
Cheers

I havent seen the article, but would assume that his word choice harkens back to that old slang usage.
