Picked this up yesterday, dated summer Semester 1951.
Creation of a custom Body to be put on an Opel six cylinder Chassis. This was part of drafting class for the Body master tech study in K-town (as overseas Military personnel should know this spot).

Very cool vintage pc. How did you come across it.

Swap meet mostly parts but also some sort of flea market stuff.
Cadillac written all over it.

That's a neat piece of history.

Original Disney gels get a fortune.
I'd rather have that draft paper.

There are a couple of custom bodies that were actually built in These master courses, maybe as a Joint effort. Have found a couple of used car ads of the day which had a few advertised for sale.

Someone snapped up a draft of a sedan delivery based on a 30s Opel Admiral also dated 1951 when I was taking a walk thinking it over, which would have been my first choice.
