Home Built Racer: ’41 Olds Special
This car was built by two guys from the Oneonta, New York area in the mid fifties. They began with a 1941 Oldsmobile frame shortened 18 inches, and a small diameter tube frame was built to hold the hand formed aluminum body. The racer was built using an Olds Flathead 6 but soon was replaced with a Olds 394 CID Rocket V-8 sporting three Stromberg 97 carbs, and fitted with a 1963 Corvette transmission purchased new from the local Chevy Dealer. The car retains this drivetrain along with the hand fabricated exhaust system. Read More
