1948 Chevrolet coupe owned and restyled by George Dorr of Salem, Ohio.George did all of the custom bodywork himself. The car was given a Titian Red paint job.

Old Bangers member Francois Perrine of France bought the car in 2013. When he got it, it still had the original paint. The body and paint was in a bad condition, so Francois decided to fresh it up. He lifted the body off the frame and installed an air ride suspension. Future plans includes new paint and interior. Francois will paint the car in the same color as George gave it.
