My favorite Chevrolet of all times.

Ooops...Interesting hood side on that A...Demonstrating something perhaps?

 

Looks like a Coca-Cola commercial at Ascot. I think I see Stubblefield, Sall, and a young Rex Mays. Not sure about the others.

 

The fellow on the right kinda looks like Bryan Saulpaugh, not sure though.

If you read about it. Chevrolet was do to bring it out in 57.... Being a yr late gave us the 57 which was a quick fill in by GM engineering....what would the USA be like without the 57 Chevy.

The Belond Miracle Power Special, an Offy-powered Kurtis 500B roadster with special streamlined bodywork by Quinn Epperly, came to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1955 behind a 1954 Ford Courier sedan delivery.

Fixed it.

Ironically the NWS is forecasting a hard freeze tonight in the Klamath Falls/Crater Lake areas above 2000' elevation!

 

I gotta admire this guy. Herb Robinson of Cali wanted to race, and built this to do it in. Sure, the Pandora Spl. is homely (personally, I dig it), but it apparently was well built enough to pass tech at a professional level sports car event. Herb obviously approached racing with a sense of humor, hence the "Desert Water Bag" hanging on the back, the donkey saying "Quiet!", and the "Danger" sticker.
