Summary
This 1939 American Bantam Speedster underwent a comprehensive restoration from 2009 to 2012, featuring a swapped Crosley CIBA engine, hydraulic front brakes, and a repaint in its believed original black with cream-colored side panels. The cabin was re-trimmed with red vinyl and carpets, though the speedometer and horn are currently inoperable. The car is regularly used around town but is happiest below 35 mph.
