Joe Doe Guitar - Darnell's Junkaster

Owner; Unknown, Detroit, USA

In 1982, State Trooper Andy 'Big Mac' Martin recovered this guitar from the rear passenger seat of a red 1958 Plymouth Fury which had crashed and burned after a dramatic chase through downtown Detroit. Strangely, the guitar was undamaged in the accident. Stranger still, the '58 Plymouth Fury later disappeared from the Detroit State Compound and was never seen again.
