    I'm looking for old photos of Jess Van Deventer's B modified roadster
    # 502 B/MR
    In the early 1960's Jess tore up the compitition all over the country in this car. He won a lot of races & won a few championships in this car.

    My reason I'm collecting these photos is this car was origially built in my Dads garage in imperial Beach Calif.

    Here are the photos I have now. I would like to add all the photos I can to my collection...

    this photo was taken shortly after the car was finished & Before Jess Van Deventer got the car.

    BigDaddy, Cool pictures! Jess is my uncle. I have seen a few of these photos, but it was cool seeing them on the internet. I would be happy to speak to him for you. He loves to talk shop. He recently restored a Henry-steel full fender 32 roadster and is now building a 37 2 door sedan.
