Ct automotive don clark & clem tebow

I'm just beginning the restoration of a 1953 road racing car known as the Mameco-Ardun. In 1953 this car raced at Pebble Beach, Golden Gate, Santa Barbara (won its class and 3rd overall, driven by Bill Pollack) and March Field.

The engine was a Mercury-Ardun built by CT Automotive.

I am hoping to make contact with Don Clark or Clem Tebow.

I would also be interested in corresponding with their families or anyone who worked at CT Automotive or anyone who remembers the car.

Thanks!

Keep us informed.

 

I met CLEM TEBOW a few years back he moved to northern calif up out of sacramento MEADOW VISTA CALIF i would run in to him at swap meets we would talk at that time he was building LINCON V12 DISTS for v8 fords. Its to bad but he passed away. He did say one time that DON CLARK was living on a YACHT in L-A. I would try KENT FULLER- SACRAMENTO.

 

Body of the car appears to be a Woodhill Wildfire or a Glasspar.

 

Good luck with the resto, the car looks pretty awesome and obviously has a tonne of history behind it too.

Here's a colour pic of the racecar with the driver Warren Gerdes in the plaid shirt holding up the hood. I just got the pic the other day cos my girlfriend is his grand-daughter!


Cheers,

Tall Paul

 

<-------Who the hell would restore a car like that?

 

looking for one to drive...

 

Here is a Glaspar I built steel floors and firewall in, a few years ago. It is on a shortened 55 Chevy frame, they are an interesting car for sure.
