Just finished my second model car. Decided to make Bucky Sager's 1952 Hudson Hornet that won the first ARCA race back in 1953. Being my second model it's far from perfect, but I'm happy with it. Anybody know any info on Sager? I know this car had sponsorship on the rear quarter panel when he won the first race, but I couldn't find any decent pics of what the sponsorship was. He raced without it for most of the other races. The figure pushing the car is from the monogram roadster kit I built ages ago.

[/quote]is there any chance I could purchase this? Bucky Sager was my grandfather and I'd love to own it.
