Andy, remember that rolling chassis TR4 with the factory rebuilt engine I
bought from you years ago?  It had chrome air cleaners on the carbs.  At that
time we discussed whether they might have been equiped at the factory, if so
wouldn't that mean chrome air cleaners on TR4s would be acceptable in concours
judging?

Just wondering!

Good point, Brad; I'd almost forgotten about those air cleaners! We may never know...unless someone
else here on the list has heard of or seen chromed early TR4 AC air cleaners. They're the only
ones I ever remember seeing.

But who knows the source? By the time you got the chassis, there wasn't much to look at. But that
car was a very well-equipped car when new: wire wheels, Michelin X radials and factory overdrive.
For all I know, it might have been an Auto Show display car....
