    The photo that started this thread back in 2008.

    [​IMG]
    "Here is Dick Swecker's from Staunton , VA He won at Indy in '60. This is where this photo was taken."

    Also from the very first page of this thread although the caption is incorrect in that the 60 Nationals were in Detroit

    This photo is captioned as the Mackey and Veselka Bantam in an old post on the DCIM thread but I don't think that it is as their car never ran spoke front wheels and was actually often run as a dragster with the driver low over the rear end.

    I thought that this may have been an early version of the Leffler and Loukas car but it appears that they always had the doors cut for a narrower rear track than this car.
