Condolences to Mrs. Hartung and other family and friends.
As weeks and months go forward it will be interesting to hear not only the story of the '49 Veritas with LeSabre-like custom tail by Spohn, but also of the other cars and all the small details of the museum inventory. There are surely "things" in there that haven't been seen in decades.
As we know, Spohn bodied many of the Veritas cars, perhaps comprising Spohn's largest single post WWII manufacturer's contract arrangement. The one Hartung owned, however, had the signature custom tail which became almost a trademark of late production Spohn customs. Is there any record what year Spohn actually did the custom tail work on the '49 Veritas chassis? After all, the GM LeSabre concept car was first shown in Europe in 1950.
I have a vested interest in Spohn customs with my '53 which is an earlier Ford chassis.
