The 1955 Victress C3 on the show field was so incredibly well done, I crawled all over it for nearly an hour admiring the craftsmanship of the restoration. Here’s just a few examples of this beauty built by Historic Motor Sports in New Hampshire. - Mike Puma . . . . #undiscoveredclassics #forgottenfiberglass #fiberglasscar #fiberglass #handbuilt #sportscar #sportscars #americansportscar #restoration #restorationproject #restorationcars #carrestoration #classiccar #classiccars #cars #carsofinstagram #carswithoutlimits #vintagecars #customcars #carcheology #victress #victressc3 #merrillpowell (at The Amelia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpkeMfPLnE9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here’s another great opportunity to get into an Undiscovered Classic with some real provenance. This 1954 Woodill Wildfire is currently for sale on @bringatrailer and the auction ends in 4 days! This 1954 Woodill Wildfire is a running project that is said to have been constructed for company founder B.R. Woodill and driven by actress Dorothy Malone in the 1956 film Written on the Wind. It was reportedly placed in storage until 1965 and remained registered in California through 1979. The car is finished in black with red side stripes over red leather upholstery, and power comes from a Mercury-sourced 255ci flathead V8 paired with an automatic transmission. Features include a Fenton intake manifold and aluminum cylinder heads as well as a Mallory dual-point distributor, 15″ wire wheels, a Continental kit, plexiglass wind wings, and Talbot-style mirrors. The car was reportedly purchased by the selling dealer in October 2021 at the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival in Tennessee, and it will require service prior to regular use. This Woodill Wildfire project is offered with copies of 1960s and 1970s California registration documents, period photos, and a clean Missouri title. . . . . #undiscoveredclassics #forgottenfiberglass #fiberglasscar #fiberglass #handbuilt #sportscar #sportscars #americansportscar #restoration #restorationproject #restorationcars #carrestoration #classiccar #classiccars #cars #carsofinstagram #carswithoutlimits #vintagecars #customcars #carcheology #woodill #wildfire #woodillwildfire #fordflathead #dorothymalone (at St. Louis, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpIO1cgLNb1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We have a very exciting update about our recently acquired, Renault based race car! Thanks to the efforts of the talented automotive historian, Joel Driskoll using his own film archives, we now know that this car is the 1955 Dale Halliday / Dr. Paul Winters Special. This is the first purpose built Renault race car in America and raced at Torrey Pines, Bakersfield, and Santa Barbara just to name a few. It even won 1st in class in 1955, it’s inaugural year. The front and rear clips are identical and of fiberglass, while the doors and belly pan are aluminum. This was all done for the ease of swapping / replacing damaged ends during racing. Marvin McFalls will have a future story in Hemmings about it as more comes to light. In the meantime, if anyone else out there knows about the car, let us know! . . . . #undiscoveredclassics #forgottenfiberglass #fiberglasscar #fiberglass #handbuilt #sportscar #sportscars #americansportscar #restoration #restorationproject #restorationcars #carrestoration #classiccar #classiccars #cars #carsofinstagram #carswithoutlimits #vintagecars #customcars #carcheology #renault #renaultspecial #hallidayspecial (at Tampa, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqbFmtyPQnO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The 1959 LaDawri Conquest with the experimental electric drivetrain built by General Electric was mobbed all weekend at the @buffalomotorama! Thanks to everyone who came out and talked about this unique piece of history and engineering, it was amazing to see how well received it was. The car even won Outstanding Survivor. Special thanks again to George Dellapenta (pictured in the last slide) for getting this incredibly complicated drivetrain fully functional again for the first time since 1961! - Mike Puma . . . . #undiscoveredclassics #forgottenfiberglass #fiberglasscar #fiberglass #handbuilt #sportscar #sportscars #americansportscar #restoration #restorationproject #restorationcars #carrestoration #classiccar #classiccars #cars #carsofinstagram #carswithoutlimits #vintagecars #customcars #carcheology #ladawri #motorama #generalelectric https://www.instagram.com/p/CqTvC5ypUaA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The 1958 LeMans Coupe being restored by Dennis Kazmerowski is looking better than ever with its fresh, black cherry metallic paint job! Be sure to go to the last slide to see where it all started. As Dennis said in his update post, “I would like to take a minute and thank several people who have helped me take the LeMans Coupe to the next level, of coarse Geoff Hacker made me buy the body and now the guys from Billy Bob’s Corvettes, these guys made the car come to life! I just picked it up from the paint shop and I can't thank them enough for the work and effort they put into this paint job I have over 2700 hrs of my own time in this car and they just brought it to the next level. Thanks again guys, you are really great craftsmen” . . . . #undiscoveredclassics #forgottenfiberglass #fiberglasscar #fiberglass #handbuilt #sportscar #sportscars #americansportscar #restoration #restorationproject #restorationcars #carrestoration #classiccar #classiccars #cars #carsofinstagram #carswithoutlimits #vintagecars #customcars #carcheology #lemanscoupe #strothermacminn (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqJRov6ppvl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
