As of Nov. 21, 2024, this is the information we have about this car:
[Feb.01.2017] Car #14 was (is?) owned by Larry Watson; Larry had a shop next to George Barris in Hollywood, CA; this was his personal car. It was customized in LEAD by Bill DeCarr but retained it's stock brushed stainless steel top. Larry painted it Candy Raspberry (Pink) over Platinum (Satin) Pearl; 30 gallons of paint were used and create an outstandingly translucent color. It was upholstered by Eddie Martinez. Meanwhile, Bill's Body Shop of Bellflower, CA, moved the fender mounted air-scoops into the frontbumper impact guards, replacing the standard rubber tips with the horn bezels (I guess thehorn trumpets themselves were relocated behind the front grille); the car also has custom wire wheels. In 1961, the car received over 21 awards including four sweepstakes, three best interiors, plus several first place awards in it's class. You may view (even acquire) a poster of it if you simply click here. Here's another Web page where you can read ALL about Larry's car. Thanks to Jerry Jansson [car #284], for sharing this info with us.
