Spurgin Giovanine 1925 Chev roadster

As always I am on the lookout for new pics of the Spurgin Giovanine 1925 Chev roadster. This particular photo I have known about for a while it was in the September 1948 SCTA program, I had not been able to get a copy for 18 months but finally snagged a copy. Below is the image and page that I fist saw on ebay. At the bottom of this post, the scan.
