I know a guy that lives just a few blocks from me that was a distributer for Bradlys. Hes got three that just sit there. The guy doesn't drive them (he's in his 80's and wheel chair bound.

From my earlier post it's not Calssic but Vintage Speedsters and Vintage Spyders

Here is the site for the speedsters:

   http://www.vintagespeedsters.com/start.htm

Vintage spyders used to have a site but it looks like it's not therer any more. Here is there other info.

Vintage Spyders
735 N. Cypress Street
Orange, California 92867
(Greg Leach)
(714) 538-6550 voice
(714) 538-6558 fax
1955 550 Spyder






No, Beck doesn't have them but Vintage Spyders does/did.

Thunder Ranch has a license from Beck to produce the spyder they sell. They also offer a 6 cyl model based on the Beck design. I think that they also offer "louvers" .
