My name is Bobby Nunes. I owned Pristine Auto Body in San Luis
Obispo for 40 years. I rebuilt "Leg Show" T in 1989. The original
"Leg Show" T was sold in the mid '70's, ended up in
Illinois in 1989. I went back and got the car. This was an "EARLY TIMES CAR CLUB CAR" through the late '60's
and into the '70's. The car has been in storage since 1979. |

TRADITIONAL. There's nothing more traditional than a BEAUTIFUL fully
polished Jag rear-end, twisting and shimmering in the wind from the
'60's and 70's. There were only a handful in the '60's. The
cornerstone has always been buggy springs-- Model A and Model T.
They didn't ride well or work well. I built this car to be driven
and to be the best I've ever seen. IT IS LIGHTYEARS AHEAD OF ITS
TIME. People still don't understand what they're looking at from an
engineering point of view. |

It was scheduled to go to
Oakland in 1994 and was in promoter's brochure for AMERICA'S MOST
BEAUTIFUL ROADSTER award. I decided not to go and the car looked
just as shown. Danny's "LEG SHOW" T was featured in ROD AND CUSTOM,
COVER CAR, January 1971.
IT HASN'T BEEN SEEN OR SHOWN SINCE THE 70's.
LIKE A VERY EXPENSIVE MOTORCYCLE, everything is either polished
stainless steel, aluminum, chrome, or brass--every bolt, nut, and
washer. Every part underneath car is exquisitely detailed to
absolute perfection. Words cannot describe the elegance and masterful
craftsmanship, precision machine work-- which was done by myself and
[MACHINISTS ] who helped on the construction of DIABLO CANYON
NUCLEAR POWER PLANT. |

THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT HOT RODS, CARS, AND MUSIC OF THE '60's AND
'70's, simply speaks to us on a deeper level. The need to move from
a point in time; that is to say it is NOSTALGIA? THE LONGING, OR
NEED, TO RETURN TO A TIME, THAT IS SIMPLER.
