    Bob Smith frames

    In my mispent youth I worked for a very nice German fellow who directed me to put his frames on every car in for service. This didnt always go over too well but I saved the old frames. I think I have some Bob Smith in my attic [if I didnt give them to my freind Bob Smith] I also have Ogner and some others. I saw a Vasek Polak go for big $$ [I bid 25.00] on ebay but I always try to be fair. I'll give a search for them. Rick

    I did the same, but didn't save any of the frames. I thought about it, should have thought harder. This was in Santa Barbara in the mid 70's, I can only imagine what we threw out.

    Thanks Rick. I just have been emailing back and forth with Pete Smith. He was the owner my car in late summer of '65. It would be great to find one of the dealerships frames.

    Thanks for your help!
