Dino;
No, it is not. I am actually Ed Cortopassi Jr. and the Glass Slipper never made it that far east. There was a car owned by Romeo Palimedes called the Romeo that looked similar to the car in the photo.
Thanks for the inquiry.

The Romeo…today:
Simmilar… But I still don’t think it’s that same.
The pointed nose is slightly different and the curve of the cowling were the wind screen ends doesn’t quite match.
Study this and comment, please
No…I saw the same photos and “concur’… it’s not either one …But I do have a couple of guys who were there in ’61 to contact …Dover CSI IS on the case !
EDP= Eno D Pasquale?
ENO for the Sporty Car,right ? …The Dragster is a Mystery
DRAGSTER -MYSTERY ? NOT ANY MORE ! DoverCSI scores a touchdown Again 😀
Just talked to Richard DuBios…formerly of New Rochelle…now living in Florida-winter…New York state-summer.
GET THIS ….HE DROVE IT ! after his club: The Dragin Flies of new Rochelle bought it from the original owner and made it a Club Car ! He ran 155 @11.5 with only rear drum brakes (’48 Ford rear &Trans) and No Chute. As he says,”A guy named “Billy” had it first and drove it …might have been a partner in it . He worked for Petro Fuel and later worked with Dennie at B & L Automotive”. Club member “Fat Larry” LaVeccio sold the Hemi motor and GET THIS —–> Rich thinks the car (less Motor) is still hanging from the rafters in Eric Graff’s brother’s Barn somewhere in Putnam or Duchhess county 😯 …………………………….More as we try to continue the story When we get more info…Field Dover CSI operatives are on the case .
We haven’t given up on locating this…Talked Again with Rich today….He’ll be at Englistown this weekend.Look for Dover Shirt !
Slipper was green, have a photo of it at Montgomery, N.Y. with Alley Oop, ran out of Mount Vernon, N. Y. meet the former owner at the very first Dover Reunion. At that time he still had the HEMI he pulled out of it.
