Photo ID # I03.22.12_oo1_HAR_NAZ_0059_1
Car #: #1
Driver (s) : Otto Harwi
Location: Nazareth Speedway
Date: 1959
Photographer: Leroy Silvius
Photo provided by: Jim Silvius
Comments: I hadn't been born yet when this picture was taken but the #1 had to be one of the best looking cars of the day... The date stamped on the photo during the development process said July 1959 but this car is so clean that I'm wondering if it might have been taken on opening day, and to my eye, it looks like it was a few years before its time compared to some of the other cars that I have seen pictures of from the late 50's. 



I went back and double checked the date stamp on the original and verified that it say's "Jul 59".  If you guys remember, back when we had to take film to the local drug store to get developed, sometimes it'd take a little time to get your film used up, and then you'd have to save your money knowing that it'd cost a few $'s to get the pictures developed, so sometimes there was a time gap from the time the photo was taken and the date stamped on the border of the image.

03.24.12 Ned Stites III Jim,

This picture of Harwi's car is wonderful. I never saw this particular version of Harold Cope's #1. Thank you for all of your great photos and stories. They are much appreciated by all.
