I visited the US pretty much just to see these two cars. 1st is the the 1925 Chevrolet roadster campaigned by Chuck Spurgin and Bob Giovanine between 1947-49. In 1948 the team won the S.C.T.A. points championship. Chuck first ran the car in 1940.

Car was built in 1940 highest speed from memory was 131mph. Unfortunately the engine wasn't ready in time for Pebble Beach so it didn't run so was only on display.

That right front tire in the first picture is obviously a F**D V/8 hubcap?

But, at the same time, they look a bit different. I'm not sure what the heck is going on there.... Last edited by 42bill; 10/11/10 03:45 PM.

A Chevy, especially a Four, is really pretty rare. The car is restored to how it was raced. I like the WWII bomber seat! Last edited by brewster; 10/11/10 09:57 PM. Those accustomed to the finest...find it in Chevrolet. 1953 Belair Convertible 1951 2dr Deluxe Sedan 2015 GMC SLE 4X4
