FIRST OFF THIS VEHICLE IS NOT A GLASSPAR G2. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN CALLED SOME TYPE OF GLASSPAR LIKE MODIFIED GLASSPAR G2 ORA 1952 GLASSPAR SPECIAL. THIS CAR ACCORDING TO ONE OF ITS LONG TIME OWNERS DEAN REMKEOF ONTARIO, CA. SAID HE PURCHASED THE CAR IN LA VERNE, CA IN 1971 WHERE THE CAR WAS SITTING IN A BACK YARD FOR YEARS. THIS OWNER ALSO CLAIMED THAT THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND BUILDER OF THE CAR WAS WARREN GERDES. MR GERDES WORKED FOR THE GLASSPAR CO. AND ALSO WAS THE RACE DRIVER OF THE FACTORY GLASSPAR. TO DATE I HAVEN'T COME ACCROSS ANY DOCUMENTATION PROVING ANY OF THIS. IF ANYBODY OUT THERE KNOWS THE HISTORY OF THIS CAR OR HAS PICTURES OF IT RACING PLEASE CONTACT ME. NEXT MR. REMKE SOLD THE GLASSPAR TO AN INDIVIDUAL IN ALTADENA, CA IN 1997. SOMEWHERE AROUND 2010 TO 2013 THE CAR LEFT CA. AND HAD 2 DIFFERENT OWNERS IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.
