Title: Looking For My Father's Digger - Seen at BG - Lives In Carolinas?
Post by: Calkins on November 13, 2019, 06:19:51 AM
The photos below are from the last known seller, Dwain Ehlinger, from the Chicago area.  The car was sold around 2004 as a roller.  Dwain's Father believed the buyer was from the Carolinas.  The car was last seen running at Bowling Green several years ago, with a little B&M style blower.  Any information or photos would be much appreciated.

Sorry I can't help locate the car but couldn't help noticing that the 4th photo appears to be from Mid America Raceway near Wentzville MO. It brings back memories from my youth listening to their ads on AM 63 KXOK radio out of St Louis. MO    "SUNDAY.....SUNDAY  MAR...Where the big one's are!!!" (said loudly and with enthusiasm in a deep radio voice!)  :)

Getting a little more serious about finding Dad's digger.  I even paid money for some ads on Racing Junk!   ::)
