    Additional description from above 1/13 auction:

    Chassis number 673913 was completed on April 22nd, 1953 and delivered the next month to Vancouver, Canada. The car is stunningly finished in Ivory White with a black hide interior and wire wheels. This example has also been tastefully upgraded for an improved driving experience. The 3.4-liter has been upgraded with an electric cooling fan, larger valves and springs, and performance camshafts with new cam buckets, as well as 9.5:1 forged pistons. It has also been ported, polished, and balanced with a high performance harmonic balancer. Additionally, it has a five-speed gearbox, an alloy flywheel, and a new 10.5-inch clutch. The suspension bushings have also been replaced, along with all new flexible brake lines. Built in 1953, titled in 1954.
    Addendum
    Please note the Engine Number is KE4742-8.

    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
