Go to Kellisoncars.com if you want to register a car you can but not sure if it's being kept up. That site will bring you to an original Kellison site too.

Those are the main two I would go to. Also check out dogfightmag.com once in awhile a cool post shows up. I posted this a few days ago on there

I wonder if anyone here knew a John Hanson. He lived outside LA for most of his life and retired as a caretaker in Malibu for my grandfather and passed away in the 1980's. He was a collector of original, low mileage, low production numbered muscle cars. If he got a whisper of a rumor he would hunt it down and find out if a real car existed or not and try to buy it. When his wife found out she had cancer he sold his cars to my grandfather, but kept certain other ones that were never completed. Other than the muscle cars he loved finding uncompleted kit cars that sat around for years. I'm using the term kit car as generic. I remember opening one of the barns in Malibu and was wondering what all these heaps were. I grew up with all kinds of automobiles but this was something different. I knew about Byers, Kellisons and a few others but this was an education. He did finish the Byers before he passed though, but the rest still sit there covered and protected. I always joke 50 or 60 years down the road my daughters will find them and no one will know what they are. I know about forgotten fiberglass website I was wondering if there are any other sites that have info on these autos. Before Bill Harrah passed I did get copies of everything their library had on these cars, but it was limited. I always told John about my grandfathers friend Straus(Macy's and Straus dept stores) who had autos sitting for years never moved but would not sell them. I gave him his telephone number and was hung up on. Straus had the Duesy that Leno purchased in that Manhatten garage and a Bugatti Atalante at his pound ridge home.


One of the unfinished ones is a Stallion still uncompleted so does anyone know how to put a value on these older fiberglass units?
