Alfred DiMora, former Clenet car-designer and manufacturer, is a long-time friend of George Barris. Currently, DiMora (www.dimoramotorcar.com) is creating the most technologically-advanced production luxury-car, the sixteen-cylinder, $2-million-dollar �NATALIA�.

He and his daughter Chanel knew they had to have the first of this collectible series. George was honored by the request and personally autographed and hand-delivered the #1 �Darts� Cruiser, straight from the production line, to Chanel at DiMora�s home in Palm Springs, California.
Curious people of all ages have been stopping Chanel every time she rides it. Chanel says, �Riding this bike is great fun and exercise and I feel like the owner of an exotic car.�
