1957 Cleary Devin Crosley Monza Special; Mike Cleary collection (Tom Clayton sportsracer.net photos).  Letter from Mike Cleary in 2007: "Cliff, the short story is that a friend of mine and I got hooked on doing a sports racer in senior year of High School (1954). After much discussion on what size to build we settled on Hmod as the only one our very limited facilities could support. Another friend happened to have the remains of a Fiat Topolino which we bought for our starting point. Mr. Devin came along later with an ad in Road and Track to save us the agony of building a body and we were off to the races. I ran the car from Sept. 1957 until the winter of 1962 when we scavenged the car to build another Hmod. I sold the Devin body to finance the new car. In the late 1980's I got a proper sized derelict Devin body from Bob Schulhof and decided to put the old original car back together again. It took a while but by the early 90's it was up and running again."

OSCA #1176 Morelli Coupe/Devin Monza: was delivered to Jim Simpson of Chicago in 1956.  A few months later the car was in an accident and the Morelli coupe body was replaced with this Devin body.  The current owner is restoring the car and is looking for any original photos of the coupe body or any pictures of the car wearing its Devin body in period.  Please HELP me if you can!

1959 Devin #59DE252817; Andi Graf collection:

I will restore it to the 50s look with wire wheels, small fiber windshield .... With the car comes the original Devin Catalog and a business card from Bill Devin. I have just some information that the car ran several races in the area of New York. Pre owners name was Robert Adams in the 90s.  I am looking for the Devin gauges, the wood steering wheel, and any information on the car's history.  Can any one help?
