Hello,

I sold my deluxe 5 years ago or so.. it ended up getting flipped to somebody in Belgium I believe. Anybody know who owns it now? 1957 deluxe. At the time is had bias ply tires and a later 1960's motor. Thin lipped dog legs. It had a set of WEGU flaps.. and early '57 bubble tail lights with reflectors and brake light deck lid. Rack was sold prior to the first sale. Stock otherwise.

Thanks.. appreciate any help.

I'd like to connect with the current owner.. maybe someday he gets tired of driving the bus and it can make its way back to Canada?
