The early B/W photo says Phil and Keith White. The later 1958-60 (est) film has no readable markings or names.


Hello,

In the early movies I took at Lions Dragstrip, many unusual cars were built and raced during this time. The radical chop made it stand out, along with the bright orange paint. I have a short movie clip that I took back in 1959 or 60 at Lions Dragstrip in a one-time shot. We never saw the car again later, on in our visits to Lions. I have been waiting and searching all over for some information on the Altered.
40 Mercury or 40 Ford?

It was most unusual and a hard charger. But, at the time, it was unnamed other than the U2 art on the side of the doors.

Is this the same car? If so, what make and who owns/drives it? What motor/class? Inquiring minds would like to know... Is there any documented proof? Thanks.
