1956 Chevrolet Handyman Wagon
3 Attachment(s)
I am starting what will most likely be a multi year project but wanted to share and see if anyone has any old pictures or info of this car.
It was originally built by my Dad in 1969 and raced in the 1970 season in stock. For 1971 he built a 56 2dr sedan which he still races today. He sold the wagon to Don Bohnenkamp from Minneapolis who ran the car for a few years before then selling it to Rich Muhlenhardt. Rich ran the car until 1980 and it has not been on the track since. It passed through one other owner before Dad caught wind of it and bought the car back. It will be a slow build but I will try to post some updates as progress is made. Again, if anyone has any further info or pictures of the car to share that would be appreciated. Thanks, Chad |

What and where does a person get the red things bolted to the axles that fit or are the dollies? They do look handy.
Its goin' to be "Way Cool" Thanks. |

Larry - the dolly set under the car is from Merrick Machine. They are adapters for their standard wheel dolly's. They can be found from various online retailers. I have a set of standard dolly's under each car for the winter to make moving things around so much easier.
