Opening day we started with the family car, the 59 Ford. The first real race car was the 55 Chevy. When we started it was primer and spotted with colors. In 1965 it had progressed to painted and lettered orange race car. Sure was proud of the old 55, they were the good old days at Dover. And the last picture is the copy of that first race car. The first car had to weight 3875 with the 283 to run in E/G. The copy, 1st time to Lebanon Valley weighted 2475 with a big block.
