| The Bel-Jon car was designed in 1956. He named it after his daughter Athena. The 1938 Lincoln Zephyr Coupe was redesigned by building the frame out with clay and then covering it with metal mosaic tiles and fiberglass. The hood and roof of the car were translucent. In 1959 Bel-Jon drove his family cross country in this car. Unfortunately his creative hood design reduced air circulation in the engine and the car overheated the entire 3,000 mile trip. Athena was featured in the 1960 Greek Independence Day parade in New York. The beautiful car attracted attention wherever it went, but soon after the parade it had to be sold as the Police felt it caused too much of a distraction parked on the New York City streets. If anyone knows the current location of the car, please email us! Info@Bel-Jonstudios.com If you would like to read more enter here |
