As much as it pains me, I think the kid might be right. Bob came from the Chi town area before he went to Fla. And I have some pics of his Mancuso deuce that looks a lot like that car. Time line would be about right too. And, the draggin deuce was citrus green.
It would be very cool to get Bob to bring that deuce to the reunion sometime. While the Draggin deuce gets a lot of interest, mostly, I think because it hasn't been found. Bob has been campaigning his "LITTLE DEUCE COUPE" for a long time. I guess I'd have to think it was maybe the least discussed original owner car, that has been, and currently is raced. And Bob is a very fine gentleman.
