Eric,

	Yes, I remember that car at Grattan, but I don't think they are 
the same car.  The one at Grattan lived in Saginaw, definitely did not 
have Euro lights, or fancy wheels.  It was also very rough.  I think a 
restoration thatwould have made it good enough for the above appraisal 
would still be ongoing.  The Ur-Q here in Mi was claimed to be the car 
that graced the covers of all the car mags when they were first 
introduced here.  I suppose it is possible that it made its way out to 
the east coast.
