.I knew it was a studebaker but needed something in there to make sure you were drawn out. I am somewhat suprised their show may not be carried in your region. It is quite popular. Maybe you could have a look on the net for overhauling episode information. The show I believe has been running for two years.

Basically the story line is they totally reconstruct a vehicle in seven days with the best of everything for some deserving soul. The public buy it of course. He is not supposed to know this is occuring. Takes about fifty people involved at least in my opinion. Manufactures donate a lot of things for brand exposure and send their staff in for some installations.

Foose executes the design and has all the say would be a general contractural condition. Still he asks the people that propose them doing the vehicle what they feel the owner would like. That the vehicle is being done is kept a secret from the actual owner. Or actually any approach would be indicated as coming from your wife and daughter or daughters.

It did occur to me that your situation was strong enough in my opinion to have some chance. We would still require some middleman site member hopefully living near their operation in California. If found we could prepare a complete package of information for him to present. .Your being somewhat of a car nut goes a long way with them as well.

I worked for the canadian broadcasting system in Canada for five years early in my life. Otherwise I would not have caught the potential you and your vehicle have for that show. Also being a non California car and owner would help reduce the regionalization of the cars and people that are done on the show since that program goes national. I realised that there where just too many good selling points including yourself that it could stand a chance.

We do need a middleman in that geographical area initially to represent your wife and daughter/daughters.. Or fly your wife or daughter or all out to do that portion. Or we could use some of our general mercedes shop members as people that propose this happens for you. This I would actually personally preffer as I do not really like deception. In my opinion you are deserving of this anyways.

They would check your background for any criminal record etc but that should be about it if they went for it. If a member would pm me from the general area the show is produced in I would help prepare a package with the salient information for him to present.
