Oscar stopped by with his latest addition to his stable.
Can anyone guess what it is?

It's about as rare as a 914-6 GT

Been doing this stuff since 1970 and never heard of a Badel. But I did recognize the driver as I'd just met him at the McQueen festival last week!

Love the livery though- did recognize that!

Oscar had most of the livery hand painted to look like it would have in the 50's.

What did @ValcoOscar have manufactured for the license plate?
