Reading Brian's blog http://brianbaylis.blogspot.com/2010...is-cycles.html and the Medici story http://www.classicrendezvous.com/USA...d_confente.htm one can glean a bit about his history. I get the idea he was a builder at Masi from the start, but not everything is crystal clear through the lense of personal reflection.....

Ed appears to be working and painting still in Point Richmond, CA. Seems he currently collaborating with Bruce Gordon.

I'll be doing some sleuthing here in the next bit regarding the original owner and colors, etc.
