1956 Cadillac Engine: From George's daughter Laurie Hurst A small piece of history on this rare find, one of the officers at Willow Grove Navel Air Station had asked my father George H. Hurst, to plate as much of the engine to match his wife's copper bottom pots. Hence the copper plated air filter as well as a number of other copper plated engine components. | We find this very interesting. Could this be the only automobile with copper plated components? |
