1957-58 Squalo Grand Prix (Ferrari)


Here is another one of my cars.
This is a 1957-58 Squalo Grand Prix.
It was designed after the 1955 Ferrari Super Squalo Indy car.
This car is in very good original condition, the only modification is that someone has cut out the cockpit so as to fit a larger kid.
This is a very cool car, and I love cars that are in original raced condition. I'm not going to restore it, I'm going to leave it as is and I hope you like it.

1958-59 Moss Quarter Midget





O.k. , it's been awhile since my last post so here is another one of my cars.
It's a 1958-59 Moss 1/4 midget they were manufactured in Inglewood California.
They built both 1/2 midgets and 1/4 midgets, but they built very few 1/4 cars.
This car was raced out of Houston Texas, it was also raced at the 1959 -60
Tulsa Oklahoma National.
It does have some race damage, but overall it's in good condition.
This is another one of my favorite cars and I hope you like it.

Update:
This comment was left ...wanted to add it to the post.
So cool that Randy took the time to tell the history of this car.
*Thanks Randy if you ever stop by this blog again..please leave your contact info would love to talk to you some more about this car.

COMMENT:
"This Quarter Midget raced at the Houston Gulf Coast Racetrack in 1958-59. It also raced in Pasadena, TX. in 1960.

You are correct about the participation of this car at the Tulsa Nationals.

This car was driven by the late, Sandra Honea of Houston, TX.

The scoop located on top of the rear turtle hull was the innovation of her late Dad.

The scoop is from a 1955 Caddy. Ironically, her Dad worked at a Cadillac dealership in Houston.

Sandra often wondered what happened to her race car before her passing.

If this car is ever for sale, please contact me immediately. Our plans are to open a Texas Quarter Midget Museum. This car is part of Texas Quarter Midget racing history."

1958 Kurtis Kraft 500

Ok, Here is another one of my cars it is a 1958 Kurtis Kraft 500. They were built by famous race car builder Frank Kurtis, who built full size midget cars and Indy cars. His cars were state of the art. Most quarter midget builders modeled there cars after his design.
And I hope you like it.

SPEEDWAY QUARTER MIDGET




This is a 1958 Speedway, this car is in original condition and still has the original engine. The only thing that is missing is the grill. This car has some race damage but it is still a nice car, and it also has some very cool graphics. I hope you like it.
