RtR#004 - Solved - John Miller's 1962 Hatch Park Special

[RayTheRat]

This sports racer is the one seen in the background of rtr#003.  Same deal.  One point for verified identification, possibly another point for detailed info about the car/builder/driver.

Happy puzzling.

is this a replica?

is this a replica?

I don't know.  Matter of fact, I don't know anything about it except that it's a "special."

[frederick59]

Costin Nathan?

[RayTheRat]

Perhaps I wasn't clear.  I don't know anything about this car.  It's why I'm offering a point for verified identification and another point for in-depth information.

However, I can pretty much guarantee that it's NOT a Costin-Nathan, but a one-off "special."

Maybe some "expertise" can help this one.

It's left hand drive so in all probability it was built in the US of A.

Crosley-based?

RtR, have you any idea of the date of the meeting?  If, as I suspect, this photo is from a meeting run by the Oregon SCCA, they have full listings of race results and a date, even an approximate one, would narrow things down.

I've been searching their site but haven't had much luck...so the answer to your question would be, "yes."  :)

It's a Hatch Park Special, built in 1962.

Huh..note the exhaust  ???

P.S. And why does it have a Ferrari badge on it on RtR#003 photo?  ???

Correct!  John Miller's 1962 Hatch Park Special. 

Point for you. 

I have no idea about the Ferrari logo on it, tho.  I'll award another point for the answer to that question.

Wishful thinking?!

[faksta]

And the point goes to... Carnut!

[RayTheRat]

:hah:   And the point goes to... Carnut!

Maybe a "wishful" point, but that's about all.   :lmao:
