The snow cruiser was last seen in 1958. The ice shelf is constantly moving and the whereabouts are unknown.

 

I think by the time that shot was taken Watson no longer owned the car. Pappy Carter bought the car and it was Dana's first sprint ride for a few races. I don't remember Watson running it without the Ford cammer. I'm guessing the offy was part of the deal to sell it. After Dana ran it , the car seemed to disappear until Skillman had it restored for his museum.

 

Those are just amazing Keef. As close as being there as we can get!

Just curious with the "Junior Sample" avatar. Any connections or just a fan?

Correct me if I'm wrong because I get mixed up sometimes for sure. But I was thinking that Duane Carter put Pancho in the car for some races starting in 1971 when it was #5. Mosely did drive it with the Offy after the Ford went on the shelf. Here's Mosley at Terre Haute in August of 1969 up high with Wib Spaulding running below. Mosley almost lost his hood on the rough track after an all night rain and Spaulding was the fast qualifier in the Morse Ezra Brooks sprint car.

 

These guys had to grow up and build hot rods. HRP

Nice that they tore it down to build a mini mall!
I know it was in poor condition, but really....it's freakin' mini mall in Korea Town.

 

Talk about days gone bye!
