These are some photos of a distant relative who was a very successful driver at a Fort Wayne race track of the #98 Ford and later the #7 Case Dairy Products Bluffton IN. Chevy stock car.
My dad always told me about the Trophy room that they had at their house that was FULL ,and now nobody knows what happened to any of it!
His #7 was a '36 Chevy with a Cadillac flathead v-8 that was set back into the firewall,he sent the motor to California to be reworked and balanced for $1000 in the mid '50s ,which would have been alot back then!
