I don't know the whole story on the Denham built 300B, the owner wasn't
around when I saw his car, and it wasn't anyone I'm familiar with, but it
looks like this Denham fellow pulled the 300 badges off and added his own
Denham name badge to the rear of the front fenders, plus I'm sure there must
be some kind of performance side to this story. Anyone on the list ever
heard of this???
