Some debate as to weather this car was painted black or
dark red (or a version of both). I did the "black" version
earlier and posted that one. But sense found a color photo
and it for sure is red.
This is a late 50's modified that ran the local track in Jacksonville.
Was Ford V8 powered and built at a time when skinny truck
tires were the hot ticket. Neat looking cars unsafe at any speed.
The driver was a local favorite and ran the dirt 1/2 mile from
the opening (1947) until it shut down sometime in the 80's.
A consistent winner, usually drove a black or white car.
So this one (red) was unusual...
These type cars ran until the mid 60's with the only major change was the
tires got wider (true racing tires). Then these cars gave way to late model
sportsman...
AMT (resin) body. frame from a Revell model A roadster. Engine from an
AMT 56 ford. Roll/side bars/headers are 1/16" aluminum. other assorted and
home made parts.
Tires are from the Revell kit. Rims are Ron Coons resin.
This
so much for trying to figure b/w photos. sure looks black
in this one.
St. Augustine was left out on purpose...
