Note from Photographer and Provider Del Cramer:
"I TOOK THE PICTURES IN LOU INZOE'S TRUCK REPAIR GARAGE N CALDWELL, N.J. I TOOK ALL OF THE PICTURES AND STILL HAVE THE ORIGINALS. THE PICTURES ARE ALL OF THE SAME CAR BEING BUILT WHICH WAS THE SEDAN. LOU BOUGHT THE CAR FOR $00 IF I REMEMBER HIM RIGHT. AFTER THEY CUT IT ALL UP THE GUY WAS A LITTLE MAD ABOUT IT. THESE PICTURES HAVE NEVER APPEARED ON LINE BEFORE THIS. NO ONE HAS THEM BUT YOU
I WAS UP TO LOU'S FARM A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, WENT TO THE RACES AT NATURAL BRIDGE, VA AND TALKED RACING AGAIN AND ABOUT THE GLORY DAYS..."
