Robert Roeder of Emmaus, Pennsylvania, who worked as a sheet metal finisher for the nearby Mack Truck, bought the car in 1938 and started restyling it. Unfortunately, World War II started and the car was put on blocks until he returned. The car has influence and parts from many areas including a one piece fabricated grill surround being based on Mack fire truck trim stock, a Studebaker speedo in an unidentified chrome panel, a steering wheel and column from a 1938 Lincoln Zephyr and a pair of 1940 Bantam Phaeton bucket seats. The original engine lasted until 1958 when it blew up from some spirited driving. Roeder went to a local wrecking yard, found a 265 small block engine and installed it in The Roadster Special. He kept the car until he died in 1971 and his wife kept the car in storage until she sold it in 1998. In 2010 Stephen Salats bought the car and turned it over to Orchard Auto Restoration in Redford, Michigan for a freshening up, then on to the Roeder Sport Custom shop for a new paint job, some interior work and a few other upgrades. The restoration was completed in March of 2011.
