This week on Racing Through History Paul Gose's son-in-law, Warren Carpenter, will appear (Tuesday, 3/26/13, 7:45 PM) on racers-reunion radio for an in-depth interview on the life and times of the legendary "Ghost Man".... 
Paul Gose. Incredibly, this car, its flathead engine and its sister-car the "lightweight" 32 still exist. Paul's cars were always painted orange so Paul's father could easily see the car on the track.
Should be an interesting interview. Good job Bopper!!!
Some interesting Paul Gose comments posted several years ago on the Morristown, TN TOPIX discussion at this link:

Dave, thanks for the link!
The #32 in the photo, that's the original race car that was built in 1949 and raced through 1967. James Long, close friends with "The Ghost" owns the car and did the restoration. The 'Lightweight Car" was built in 1958, sold in 1961 and raced through the late '60s - early '70s, and is in Memory Lane Museum in Mooresville, NC. The last #32 car that we built was a 1937 Ford sedan that won the Tazewell Speedway track championship in 1971, and is owned by a long time family friend of "The Ghost" that lives in Georgia. It hasn't seen the light of day in years, but it wouldn't take much to make it "race ready". All three of the race cars were orange with #32. It is a fact that the flathead motor that has been in all three of these race cars is at James Long's garage in Morristown, Tennessee, thanks to the generosity of Ray Cantrell who had the motor in his garage for many years. That's another story for later.
Warren, we sure did enjoy hearing you on Racing Through History Tuesday night on RacersReunion Radio. Hope you can come back some time and share more there with us one evening. I know that evey single soul who was listening Tuesday night would love to hear more from you.
Thanks Dave! I'd love to come back, as I never get tired of sharing stories about my racing hero "The Ghost". I'm working on another "Ghost Story" right now that I will send to Jeff Gilder for Racers Reunion "Saturday Night Heros".
Great interview! Awesome stories! Can't wait to do it again.
Having Warren on was a real highlight of the show this week. What wonderful stories of a great part of racing history. I, too, am waiting to hear more and read more in the stories that will be posted from Warren on the Home Page. Can't wait.

I've spent countless hours researching and putting together the history of Paul "The Ghost" Gose so that his racing exploits will be preserved for his family and friends. Having said that, I've had lots of help along the way from my friends such as James Long, Tommy "Whittler" Williams, Randy Gilbert, Tommy Creswell, Charlie Blanton, Ronnie Nodine, Homer Owens,Steve Owens and Ray Cantrell. They have all helped in many ways, such as supplying photos and doing lots of research and finding outabout things that we've all wondered about for years. Without their input, the photos and "Ghost Stories" would not have been possible, so thanks to each of you!
