I remember seeing that car, Kenz and Leslie used to have it parked in their showroom here in Denver, and my Dad took me down there once and I got to drool over it.

I am not sure where the car is now though.

Larry, it is in the Kenz and Leslie Museum in west Denver also know as the Kenz and Leslie BG Products and Training Facility.  Bill and Roy were 2 of the 7 original partners in BG, Ron Leslie, Roy's son runs the business and has the car as well as several of their other race cars. 
We have been trying to get Ron interested in bringing the car out to the salt to put on display.

Hey Larry, if you are in town I can take you over to the Kenz and Leslies museum. Ron is a very close friend of my father and our sponsor on the Amo-Stainless streamliner and Bockscar Lakester. Cool museum.

Corey :cheers:

Warms the heart and makes the salt fever need a fix. Just talked to LandsendLynda, she is doing well and has the fever as well and at least she is close enough to go see it and know the roar will be back soon. :cheers:
