I talked with Francis Crider ,who owned it back then.
He was sponsored by Sam Brown Dodge..

Wow..this is cool..

Royal,

Do you have any info on this one. It looks very similar to one that was in TRJ a while back. Looks like the same body although the car i'm refering to { late 50s?} had a multi carbed Buick i think.

Kurtis.
