Bob Mosier's Manning Special

Bob contacted photographer Allen Kuhn about this car.  Allen contacted historian Ron Cummings who contacted me.
 
 

From Bob Mosier (to Allen Kuhn):  "I bought this car a while back, and no one can identify the body. The
chassis is a Chuck Manning design, made quite faith- fully to the blueprints he sold, but we don't know the origins of the body. Have you ever seen a body like it? We can tell it was made in a permanent mold, so someone was planning to, or did, make several."

 
Good-looking body.  With the fender cutaway it reminds me of the Aston Martin DB3S.

 
It wouldn't have been a terrible idea to roll the car a little farther outside into full sunlight.
 
 
From website visitor Dan Ellis:     (8-11-06)

"Great site!  Just a bit of info on the Bob Mosier's 5-11-05 photo... Revell models made 1/32's of this car.  They came in red or blue as best I can recall as my brother and I had one each.  Unfortunately, one day we had a terrible dispute and both models were destroyed.  (I guess boys will be boys now and then.)  May I suggest contacting Revell for a history of products vintage 1971-1976?"
