I am enclosing four photographs and looking for some identity of same. A good friend of mine purchased this car this year and is planning on restoring it. However, it has been very hard to track down the history. It is rumored that the car was at least partially built by Kurtis and a very complex manifold was built by Ed Winfield. We have not been able to substantiate any of this conclusively. However, the chassis seems to have been professionally built. The engine is an early Chrysler hemi and the transmission is a Packard. This is only a guess, but we both feel that the car was built in the late 40s or early 50s. It has independence suspension all the way around and we think it was meant to be a road racer. The back of the frame was cut off and the rollbar added at some point in its life when someone tried to turn it into a drag racer, but then gave up. If anyone has any knowledge of this car please let me know. Thanks.
