A well-know driver in a less well-known special. Name both and take the point!

Otto Puzzell · November 13, 2008, 05:06:39 AM

Experts?

Joao Gois · November 18, 2008, 07:48:14 AM

It sure seems a Ford V8 special...

with Phil Hill driving?

Otto Puzzell · November 18, 2008, 12:29:59 PM

Nope, not Phil.

Otto Puzzell · November 25, 2008, 05:25:56 AM

Not a Ford engine, either.

Otto Puzzell · November 26, 2008, 11:48:35 AM

Pros?

Allan L · November 28, 2008, 04:46:11 AM

OK so it's a Ford V8 special but with a non-Ford engine and it's not Phil Hill.
Is it from/in the USofA?

Otto Puzzell · November 28, 2008, 05:38:37 AM

It is.

neilshouse · November 28, 2008, 06:06:50 AM

is it Dan Gurney driving?

Otto Puzzell · November 28, 2008, 09:04:54 AM

No sir.

This driver was usually associated with mongrels like this one...

'Cause it was in the Pro section.

However, I'm feeling generous with the clues today, so there you have it. The point is yours!

By the way, I don't have much more info, but I feel may be more on the way... 8)

I'll take the bait... ;D

Yeah, that is Max Balchowsky driving the Vogel '32 Roadster.
( #70 was his racing number, he also used that on his later Old Yeller/Ol Yaller Race Cars )

AKA the Bu Ford when it had a Nailhead Buick in it, but it had a flat head Cad in it before that.
