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=
