OGDEN'S SUPER DUPER SPORTS CAR
Fifty years experience in the auto body building trade went into this Super Duper Four Passenger Sports Car exhibited by Fausto Michilli, owner of the Ogden Auto Body, 1434-40 Ferry Ave., Camden. Mr. Michilli, who put years into the building of his pride and "masterpiece," used the chassis of a '41 truck and worked up from there. The vehicle is registered by the state as a '41 Chevrolet Sports Car. Now 68, Mr. Michilli received most of his basic knowledge and experience in Italy where he was employed in Rome. Coming to this country in 1911, he settled in Niagara Falls, then opened his first business in 1919 at 337-339 Pine Street, Camden. Known first as the Ogden Wagon Works, the business became Ogden Auto Body in 1930 at its present location. The business is now operated by his son, Albert Michilli.
