The sad end of .."The Cigarette"
#122
Difficult to track down “American Eagle”, after moving to Australia, she had a few different owners. I’m not sure of the exact order but it became Whippys Eagle (Owner Brian ‘Whippy’ Stevens) The Eagle and lastly Stefan Shampoo (Stefan Ackerie) around 1984. No idea what happened after that.

Can't help posting this, since I was stunned when I saw, 10 years ago online, the models created at Chips throughout the years. Can't wait for your posts. Hope You don't mind me posting a couple of teasers?
