I got this E-mail from Tom Daniel. Some fan who saw this "Pie Wagon" in CA. View the Flickr show from the link below--wild man!
Dear Tom,
OK, I dug up the photos that I shot of the Pie Wagon in Downey; edited, cropped,
and smacked 'em into a short slideshow.
Here's the link:

You can pause the show by hitting the space bar on your keyboard. Hit spacebar
again to restart show. The left arrow key on your keyboard can be used to go
back and replay a slide.
I tried to get some "detail" shots. For my interest, yours, and for a friend of
mine who is supposedly gonna build a car someday (maybe; you know how that
goes).
As you can see, the body is in early stages. From what I gather, someone ran
across this body. No molds. Looks like a fellow started the car way back when,
then circumstances changed and he got called away, leaving the car in this state
for decades. The guy I saw there was transporting the car. From a seller to a
buyer, I believe. He did not know a lot about it; only a little.
I'm afraid that's all I know. The Googie Road Trip I was leading was comprised
of guys and gals who were anxious to get with it and move on to Site #19, the
old McDonald's restaurant nearby in Downey. So off we went!
