Hi Tabs,
Actually, that's not a Speedster, it's a Cabrio. There were about 2,000 Speedsters made in '55 but only about 200 Cabrios were made that year. Even rarer are the "Continental" fender tags as only the cars imported by Max Hoffman were tagged as Continentals.
My '50s furniture collection is all commercial grade Miller, Knoll and others. Most of it had, at one time, been lobby furniture is buildings built in the '60s and '70s but most of the designs are from the '50s. My taste in art is eclectic, at best. I buy what I like. I've only purchased one painting because of the artist's name. Jonathan Winters has painted about 150 paintings but has only sold about 10. His art is as strange as his comedy.
Here's a shot of our living room to give you the idea of the range of our collection.
