Daniel Shanahan's Jaguar XK-120
 |
| From Daniel: "It was purchased in its current iteration in
1961 by Irvin Thiessen. He lived in Salinas, California at that time
and owned the car until his death a year ago." |
 |
| "The “customization” appears to have been done on purpose, not as
a result of any collision repair. Family lore has it that the car
was raced on the Pebble Beach course and I've found some reference, (but
no photographs) to a supercharged XK in Art Evans and/or Robert T. Devlin's
books. |
 |
| Louvers always look good on Jaguar hoods. I'm sure they also
do some useful work, especially for a hotter-running supercharged car. |
