I read somewhere that the old cars were in the hands of a collector in California and in sad, sorry shape as the plywood was delaminated and basically falling apart due to be exposed to the weather and elements.
Addnly in Arnold Hylen's images of Calif. State Library you will find the Hopperstead House up adjoining site of the tower atop Court Flight - Mrs. Hopperstead battled for it's removal --More unnamed homes as well on N.Hill St that were immmediately to south of Bixby home and down to very precipice above the stairs and Hill St.Tunnel - Have fun nailing these down- never appeared here yet -- I have no ability to post any images myself----
