The Back Story: 

 

This car ran the Limited Sportsman Division at Lebanon in these colors during the 1967-1968 seasons.

It was powered by an inline 292 CI 6 Cylinder Chevy and competed against the V8 Powered Late Models.

Another 292 Chevy Powered coupe competing at this same time was the black and white #53 owned by John DeBell and driven by Larry Faulkner.

The car was painted maroon on the "grandstand side" and white on the "infield side" and numbered "6". This color scheme was copied from a strong runner in the Sportsman Division at Middletown at the time named Jack Zuidema.

 

The picture with the guys sitting on the car was taken in the pits at the valley. The "trailer" photos were taken at "Home".

This car was previously owned by Paul Dickenger and competed in the Sportsman Division at the Valley during the 1965-1966 seasons as the Grey and White #D22, with driver John Van Leuvan.

This car has the distinction of having won, for the Dickenger/VanLeuvan team, the longest race

ever run at the Accord Speedway, a 200 Lapper run in 1965 or '66.

 

Sangaline sold this car to a person unknown to me at the conclusion of the 1968 season. Rumor has it that the buyer of the car never competed with it and that it has been stored to this day, intact.

Sure be a great find for a Vintage Racer.
