Title: George Poteet"s car collection
Post by: Frenchy Dehoux on November 23, 2011, 19:20:31 pm

    I had to fly to Tupelo Mississippi to finish the restoration on a 1958 Toyopet one of only 5 known in the US. The restoration was done at the Tupelo Auto museum a few blocks from where Elvis Presley was born and where I had lunch and breakfast also where Elvis use to hang out at his favorite dinner. The 58 Toyopet had to be finish before Doctor To#¤ta was to arrive on Wednesday 11/16/11 for the grand opening of the new corolla factory. While doing this restoration I was invited to go and view an unbelieveable collection of cars owned by George Poteet who also owns 5 + Bonneville salt flat streamliners and other here are a few pictures of his collection.

One of his latest cars is in Custom Car magazine this month, a heavily chopped track-nosed '34 in the style of the Pierson Bros and SoCal Speed Shop cars. Very cool, and as Simon said above, any of them would do! :)
