Nice article on John Quilters latest conversion in MAR.

Love the model. If only the manufacturers would produce more 4dr sedans. Still not a lot out there, especially from the late 1940's and early 1950's. I love John's conversions!

Peter, I think you are right, and I also think that 2 door hardtops in 2 tone versions of the late 40's (body in one color with roof & back trunck in another color) are also missing, but don't remember whether such color versions were also available on 4 door sedans

Yes! I'm first of all a Buick & Pontiac collector! Who made these 1941 Pontiacs? Didn't know any were made!

Brooklin made them.

Stock version is single tone and still available - I made these two tone versions.

Good work as always John. Looking forward to the La Femme..

I made a couple of these - 1955 and '56.
