Hello John,
Thank you for placing this page regarding your grandfather. And at this date I can only thank you for his service to his country. Sorry for your loss.
In a 1953 issue of Stars and Stripes newspaper, it mentions Captain Bruce Hinton ( later to become Lt. Col.) having the most photographed object at Rhine Main AFB. He designed the car with the Spohn Carosserie in Ravensburg, Germany.
I own a Spohn custom built car. I first saw it on the far South Side of Chicago in 1957. I don’t know if it has any connection to your grandfather’s car except extremely few cars were customized by the Spohn coachbuilders.
I am sincerely hoping a few photos of your grandfather’s Spohn exist among your family, hopefully one of him with the car. If you will respond to me, I can show you photos of my car. This is noteworthy: Spohn customs were known for their Sabre statement tails and as you well know the Sabre jet shootdown of a MiG by your grandfather put him in the history books.
Thanks,
Wayne Graefen
