I'm talking with my son tonight he sends me this teaser!

1957 Denzel with Porsche motor.

Going to be a great restoration.

I don't know much about it yet other than it is in Ohio. The owner must be getting ready for a great revile.

There is a Denzel which was recently painted in Ohio, which is probably the one in the photo. It was a barnfind Denzel which I acquired dozen or so years ago and sold a couple of years ago. I got the original Denzel engine with the car, although the engine was in a disassembled state. It has been rebuilt. Although the use of a Porsche engine was an easy solution when an original Denzel engine had problems back in the day, I don't believe this car ever had a Porsche engine in it. This Denzel is being prepared for a special Denzel Class to be held at the March 2023 Amelia Island cocours.
There will be a number of photos of this Denzel while under restoration in the new Denzel book which Mark Brinker and I are working on. There will also probably be a couple of photos of it in the next issue of the 'Denzel Bulletin', the periodic newsletter about Denzels.
