We have a copy of a letter dated August 13, 1954 from Robert N. Byron at the B.S. Cunningham Co. to Irving W. Robbins, Jr. (provided by Collier Collection / Revs Institute) which includes a detailed repair estimate listing suspension, chassis, engine, and other needed repairs.
In a follow-up letter by Mr. Robbins, he states that the car was damaged in a crash during a race in California. We are still trying to determine where and on what date. It is our belief that C2R #5104 was traded in for C3 #5441 (Vignale Cabriolet), after which C2R #5104 was dismantled, retired, or destroyed.
Respectfully submitted by,
Lawrence W. Berman Cunningham Motorsport Historian
