It WAS a Meyers Manx Clone, until a very skilled craftsman with horrid taste fouled the body up using modern lights.

Here is one I built last year and sold to a guy in Parkersburg WV. Darlene and I dropping it off. The body is suspected to be a California Clipper.

Anyone guess the one year only color I painted it with?

Here is a complete tube chassis I am building right now to drive from West Virginia to Big Bear in California in July this year.

The body has been certified by Bruce Meyers as an original Meyers Manx II.

My buddy Johnny's buggy. Made in Michigan, I think it's a Sand Dancer?

I think this is an example of "it seemed like a good idea at the time". In theory I get the idea, but for me, every buggy needs to look like speed buggy.
