Have just learned that second owner Tom Peirona passed away in 2005. Luckily I was able to talk to him right after I bought the car in 1997. Anyone in the bay area recall Tom and this car?? Ruby red, roll bar?? He got a Speeding ticket going 85MPH on the way to the original Speedsterfest in NorCal.

Matt Howard and his two brothers Chris ('Stopher) and Brandon are doing this car. They did the 356A Open Car class winning A Cabriolet at the 2009 WCH.
