Bob Carducci's 1948 Chevrolet
1948 Chevrolet Convertible owned by Bob Carducci. The car is also known as the Fabian Continental.
Harry Bradley took Bob's Chevrolet to Puerto Rico for the 1961 Custom Car Spectacular in San Juan. There was a big ship that brought cars from New York City to Puerto Rico.
The 1961 Custom Car Spectacular in San Juan ended in disaster. The show was promoted by Jerry Anolik, who, according to Ray Soff, ran away to California with the money before paying for the return shipping of the cars. The vehicles were stored in a warehouse in New York City because the shipping company would not release them without payment. The car owners had to pay for their own return shipping. Several cars were damaged in the process.[1]
Harry Bradley took slides of cars being unloaded from the ship after the show, documenting the damage.[1]
As of 2018, the car was owned by a man in New Jersey who was attempting to restore it.[1]
