                    When I see the ‘Carpetbagger’ 55 Nomad,it reminds me so much of one that was in the Kingston N.Y. area around 69 I think? It was red,with a white roof,that had a scaloped design on the roof.There was a name on the top quarter panel (I can’t remember what?).It had no front bumper,and a red plexiglass scoop (like Twistin’ Texan),and I think it had a 427 in it ,with a tunnel ram.A guy named Gary Vangeisen from Kingston owned it once (he didn’t build it).Anybody else ever remember it,or see it run at Dover also?

                            Here at Dover central…Never know what’s gonna be on the other end when the phone rings. More history on the’ Bagger’ comes in ,as Peter Thomas from Prospect ,Ct. tells me… He Built the car and ran it in ’65. It was blue with a white roof. Sold it to the guys at Zeller tire ,who painted it Red. Said it had the number 119 on the door. Searched for that in the photo archives ,with no luck. He’s getting together His photos, and sending them my way.

                                Pete’s one hell of a car guy ❗ He set up rear ends for me and did some tuning
                                on my old 55 Chevy back in the street racing days. 😮 We talk on Facebook from time
                                to time about the old days. He has some awesome stories. 😆 I’m sure he has a better
                                picture ❓ 😆 I hope he does…. 😆
