I've seen the show many times. His shop is about 25 minutes away from my house. Been there several times just to drool.

Kind of an interesting tidbit from that H.A.M.B. thread:

The purple car, is Davis #9, serial #482E99, which I visited in Oregon in 1998, which has bounced around several owners and a couple of auctions, and was reputedly last known to be headed for Connecticut! What a Distinction!!! The only Davis in all of New England. I have E-mailed the owner, but no response.
Even though the original post was 12/08, I wonder what the odds are that CT would be home to two of 'em (Purple one could have moved on)? Maybe it was this one after restoration?
