History '32 Coupe from Kansas City - 1955

This was posted on facebook. Anyone have information regarding this coupe, Dave Waldo, or possibly where this car ended up? It may have continued it's racing history into the 60's or 70's in the KC area. If so it would have been white in the later version. Here's the pic and post:





Dave Waldo, out of Kansas City, Kansas, was the owner of this slick looking chopped Deuce 5-window. Under the hood was a '47 Merc. It was shot at the First NHRA Nationals at Great Bend, Kansas in 1955. We have no speed for Dave.

He might know Gary Wooster. This was Gary's 5w at that same race. Gary is from Salina, ks.

 

Is there a possibility that this is the old blue coupe???

 

That's what I'm thinking - both chops look identical and the chop on the blue coupe is leaded, old work.

 

It does look a lot like it! Neat!

 

Gary's 5w was red.
In this video, ffw to 7:15 and there are two chicks, one smoking. Gary's 5w is in the background...

 

Here is another video, but have not watched it all the way yet. Might see the chopped 5w in there.
