This month I would like to challenge you to "name that car".  This challenge is coincidently related to a Griffin sold on eBay a few months ago.  The Griffin that was sold on eBay was thought by some to be broken at the base of the front paws.  The seller refuted the speculation that the Griffin was broken.  I responded by describing the missing section for the Hudson and Essex emblems for I too was sure the Griffin was broken.  Further confusion arose when the seller identified the designer’s name inside the emblem.  Avard Fairbanks has long been recognized as designing the Griffin and his name can be found inside the emblem on the '33 Hudsons and Essex-Terraplanes.  It is my understanding that Avard Fairbanks was an art instructor at the University of Utah.  The person that modified the design of the Griffin, by removing the hood emblem, also put his name in place of Avard Fairbanks' name on the inside of the Griffin.  Am I backwards?  Did Avard Fairbanks enhance this design for use on the ’33 Hudsons and Essex Terraplanes? 

I will now take you across country to Logan's restaurant at 2701 Watson Blvd in Warner Robins, GA.  Last September I ate at Logan's and my attention was continually drawn to a picture on the opposite side of the room.  A closer look at the picture suggested that it was a picture of what may be a 1932 or 1933 Hudson convertible or roadster.  In March of this year I had another opportunity to eat at Logan's and this time I was prepared with my Cannon camera in hand.  My picture of the picture is now posted on the 32-33 Hudson photo section of the Deseret-HET web page.   During my dinner the manager asked if I needed anything.  I told her I did; I told her that I needed to know how to order a copy of the picture on the wall.  The manager said she that did not know, but she said that she would find out.  I never saw her again.
