Does anyone know what happen to this plane after its private sale and revoke of registration in 1977? My grandfather flew with this plane during WWII and if it has been withdrawn and is in a museum I would like to find it. Thanks.

Wow, 1959 was the year my parents were born, I can't even imagine what Phoenix must have been like back then. Thank you for this golden classic image.
