On their website it says: "Restored by Lincolnwood Auto Body for Museum of Sience and Industry Chicago." Does that mean 1. they painted/restored the car in 1965 before it was put in the Museum? 2. when the car was in the Museum, did they cut the car in half to put it in the elevator and put it back together? 3. did they restore the car in 2017 after Craig Breedlove removed the car from the Museum? |

I don't think that the photos with the panels in the paint booth are from 1965. |

Using the binder paper that is in front of the model, I would estimate it is about 6 feet long.

Judging from the pickup in the background I'll go with 15 ft. If I win I'd rather have an apple juice like the Truck Stop Cafe used to serve. But if I win I'll split it with Stainless.

Yeah, you're probably right, if it wasn't longer than 10' they wouldn't have two easy ups.

The question should not only be about the size of this model, but where it is today.
