Photos of J2563

Your feelings seem to be generally agreed upon based on the auction result a few years ago for one of the three.

Wow, very interesting. Have not seen either of those photos before. The photo best known of the car is the one taken at a curb when it was equipped with a huge chrome trumpet horn on the left hood panel.

Of the three Walker convertible coupes built, this was the only factory supercharged car. IMHO these three are the best looking of all Model J's.

note...my avatar on this forum is a photo of me seated in 2563 taken in 1970's when the car was in last stages of restoration by Hal Orchard in Orange, CA. My late father, Nate Derus, owned the car for a few years before it was restored.

Bill,

Thanks so much for posting those...they're new to me and I'm sure many others here.

I have many photos of J-530 / 2563 from when it was first restored in the early 1970s, but unfortunately don't have access to the computerized versions at the moment.
