In early 2010, I got in contact with Dr. Ernest Follico, he was the owner of this beautiful 1972 Blackhawk.
Unfortunately, we don't know the first owner of the car,
Back in 1989, Dr. Follico bought the car from the son of Charles Painter.
Charles Painter won the car at Las Vegas, years ago.
At that point, the car was white with a canary-yellow(!) stripe.
Ernest Follico repainted the car in a burgundy that comes from Mercedes.
In early 2014, Dr. Follico sold it to a car dealer.

This snapshot was taken by a friend, in June 2014.
The photo was taken on a Swiss highway.
Thanks to unique details of the car it was easy to identify.
With some research, we were able to find the new owner in 2015.
The car was owned by famous Swiss artist Rolf Knie.
In February 2016, I saw the car for the first time in person, in 2017, I was able to take some additional pics.
Mr. Knie sold the car, in June 2020, the car showed up at a local car show with its new owner.
