Very cool!
I'd love to see the build photos!

I have an arm patch and some entry papers from a friend of mine's running in the derby in '48 in Harrisburg, PA

 

Still have my son's from the 80s in the attic.

Love it!!

 

Hang it from the ceiling! That is very cool!

 

and hang some lights under it....nice light fixture... Would look cool over a pool table.

 

Here is my son's from 1982. It is currently in the Caruso Racing Museum in Las Vegas.

 

Thats a cool looking SBD car!!! This thing must weigh 200 lbs... freaggin heavy *** car..

 

Definitely show us the build pics.

 

All soap box derby cars weigh exactly the same with driver. You either add ballast weight or remove to make everyone equal. We would switch wheels on the cars and then run the same two cars again to equal out.

Wow, what a treasure! That is off the scale COOL!

 

In for more pics.......that's a cool find

 

thanks for sharing, that is a very neat treasure you have there. post up more pictures, detail stuff, I would love to see how it was made back then.

 

My great grandfather who's was an amazing carpenter and wood craftsman made it with my then 8 year old uncle. It's amazing that none of the wood is rotten anywhere. Steering cables are nice n tight, etc
