Thank you, Colorado Preservation!

Colorado Preservation, Inc. was incredibly important in saving the .04 as without their intervention, the car likely would not have been preserved. The listing of the .04 on their “Most Endangered Places” was instrumental in gathering support for this project. This was was recognized during the 2022 “Places Saved” presentation. See the Videos page to watch a video which celebrates this success.
