Hey guys, I'm getting confused!
Basically I am a motoring historian and researcher here in England. When I go looking for info, I try to get dates so I can build a chronology. I did some digging today and came across a report in the Tuscaloosa News of Sunday June 14th 1959 which talks of a race meeting at Birmingham in which would be "(Bill) Latham's #33 supercharged Studebaker capable of reaching 500 horsepower." OK.
I also knew that Gordon Bishop raced a 41 Studebaker, also #33, called the Grey Gull. He had a big crash in that. It seems also he had a big crash in the Babb Studebaker too!
I believe the engine in the Grey Gull was actually a Ford so the negine from the Babb Stude must have gone into the #33 Ford coupe driven by Latham. How long was this car in existance? That would give me a clue as to when the engine came out of that Babb Stude.
Can ANYONE save me from Belle View hospital?
