GENTLEMEN;

JUST A NOTE TO LET EVERYONE KNOW WHO "METALCRAFTERS"IS.THEY BUILD THE PROTOTYPE
CARS FOR THE MAJOR MFGRS,WITH A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP TO DAIMLER CHRYSLER.I HAD LUNCH WITH THEM YESTERDAY,AS THEY ARE PREPARING FOR ANOTHER COMMERCIAL SHOOT IN LAS VEGAS
WITH MY 1955 C300,A 1931 IMPERIAL FROM THE FORMER RICHARD KUGHN COLLECTION,A 1947 TOWN AND COUNTRY CONVERTIBLE,A 1942 TOWN AND COUNTRY BARRELBACK,AND SEVERAL OTHERS I'M NOT AT LIBERTY TO MENTION.

THESE PEOPLE ARE COMPLETELY SELF CONTAINED,AND BUILD PROTOTYPE AND CONCEPT CARS,SUCH AS THE CHRYSLER 300 HEMI C CONVERTIBLE,CHRYSLER PACIFICA ,CROSSFIRE 2 SEATER,ETC,ETC.THE ONLY PART THEY OUTSOURCE IS TIRES.THEY EVEN MANUFACTURE THEIR OWN GLASS.MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THEM AS 
TO THEIR SIZE AND CAPABILITY,THEY ARE HUGE AND EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL! DON'T WASTE TIME BY DROPPING IN,INASMUCH AS THEY ONLY ALLOW SELECT PERSONNEL TO ENTER THE PREMISES,WITH PERMISSION.THEY ALSO OWN "CAMERA READY CARS"WHICH IS A STAND ALONE DIVISION TO WORK WITH
BBDO ADVERTISING AGENCY TO FILM COMMERCIALS.

WITH ALL THIS ACTIVITY,IT IS NOT SURPRISING THEIR BUSY AND THE PANEL PROJECT IS DELAYED.BUT I'M SURE
"IF YOUR PATIENT,THEY WILL COME.

BILL MADDEN
