First of all I would like to thank Doris for taking all these great Nazareth photos, and Ray for providing them for all of us to enjoy. I don’t know who’s driving this little blue Corvair, but she looks like she has seen better days. The American flag is a nice touch though, as it seems very fitting, it’s probably the newest thing on this racer. Even though it doesn’t look like much, I’d give my last plug nickel to take a few warm up laps in her, and brag all the way home, I drove a racecar!!

Yes, this one was built in a tiny alley garage with a dirt floor on a shoestring budget. The family had fallen on hard times and there was virtually no money, but Dad somehow found a way to will a race car into existence. I do remember the extension cord running from the house to the garage. He must have been like a cave man building the first wheel during the ice age, hoping for a thaw so he could test drive it. The tires and the engine machining are  probably the only things that cost any money at all. I'm sure everything else is pure scrap, and judging from the rust on the frame he probably painted it with leftover house paint! Yet he always managed to sell these damned things to someone at the end of every season. I guess that confirms the greater fool theory.
