NaIaS floor. Gary Kaberle, a
dentist from Michigan uSa,
commissioned the car in
memory of his late wife Debbie

drive away from but we’d take it
for a spin nontheless...

embraced bio fuels as part of
it’s far reaching environmental
strategy. as if we needed another
reason to add this beauty to the
