Comments: Comment:  Open wheel ace Jimmy Maguire purchased the stock car pictured above from Ken Brenn and ran in the sportsman division in 1974 at Flemington.  I am told this car was the original Budd Olsen built coupe that Stan Ploski ran at the very end of the 1971 season as a cream colored #24.  (I kind of think it looks a little more like the Trevis car, but that may just be the cut of the body....  I'll let you guys that know frame construction tell me if this is the Olsen car or not.)

If this is the original Olsen car, then once the '71 season was over, the following season it was raced by Ken Brenn Jr who who the 1972 rookie championship at Flemington.  The car then became the orange #42 that was driven to the 1973 Flemington rookie championship by Billy Mitchell, and for 1974, it became the #37 that you see above.

03.03.15 Rick Shive This is one of the Trevis cars.
03.03.15 3-Wide How can you tell Rick.  I agree the body doesn't look like the Olsen coupe but we all know what happens to bodies after 3 seasons!
03.03.15 John McCaughey Agree with Rick, def the Trevis car..
03.03.15 3-Wide Well...looks like we have another Vault Mystery.... 
03.04.15 Rick Shive The cage, the way the body's cut, plus back in '74 I saw a picture that said Jimmy Maguire in the former Brenn Trevis built coupe.
03.04.15 3-Wide I agree that the #37 looks more like one of the two Trevis cars, and that is always what I thought, but I was told differently by Jimmy.  That's why I'd like to figure it out based on the pictures and less of the "memories."  I'll find a few more photos that show the chassis and cage and try to lay them out next to each other.
