A couple of friends and I stood right behind Fred and the "Lady Bug" last year during the driver's meeting at Bonneville. It was neat to view up close a car I've seen and read about in several books and magazines over the years, and of course, meet Fred!

 

It was very nice of it to come out , it almost didn't make it ..

 

And here is an awesome thread (which NEEDS to be posted here!) Off the HAMBs sister site, www.garagejournal.com Rebuild of Freds "modern" car.

Fred, is a real hoot to talk to. He stopped by our car while in line at Bonneville and was a joy to talk to.--TV
