Default Ellison Engine Cincinnati

Hi all

I am looking for pictures of cars that ran Ellison Engine Service horsepower.
Ellison was located in Cincinnati.

Im working on a Facebook page and would like to post them. I worked for Tom Ellison the owner there and he was a great man.

Any leads or any you can share please contact me
My email is RandoH23@Gmail.com

Thanks
Randy

Ellison Engine Service on Facebook has photos of all the cars. There is also a fellow named Ray Nash who owns Granny Goose I and II.

The only Pontiacs that came to mind are those that Truman Fields had.

But, after lookin on the Ellison FB page, I saw that the Angeles & McCarthy '68 SS Bird also had Ellison on the fender.

It also had Truman Fields name close to the Ellison name. So, I have to assume that Truman had something to do with the car. Don't know if he built the engine, or what. Anybody know ?

I do know that John Angeles & Pete McCarty wrote a Pontiac book or 2. I had a copy myself.

I just thought of another Pontiac that used Ellison.

The last name was Olson. He said that he helped Truman with his car, then built his own Pontiac Stocker, after Truman moved. Said he had a lot of help from Ellison.

I think he posted on my Pontiac Stocker thread. Don't know if I can find it or not. I'll do a little searching & see.

Only have one pic, & it's pretty fuzzy

OK, here it is.

In the 2nd pic below, I think that's Tom Olson standing by the car, with Truman. As you can see, they're both wearing Ellison T-shirts.

How bout another Pontiac ? In pic #3, I think this was Bob Michael. Said some kin of his sold that brand of insurance. I think it says Ellison over the rear wheel well. I assume the car in pic #5 is the same car.

Then of course most of Truman's cars would have used Ellison. That includes the '72 GTO he raced one season.

I've read that Truman also received a '72 Bird to race in Stock. But I've never seen a pic of it. So, I don't know if he ever actually got it, or not. Maybe he got it & it wasn't competitive under the '72 Stock rules. We do know that Truman ran his '68 Bird Stocker in '72. SO, I have no idea what happened to the '72 Bird.
