No front bumper on the '55 Wagon.....Not legal for a D/MP classed car...
Would make it move to a Gas class.....

The Corvette may be the car called Rats Nest....

I loved going to Maple Grove way back when......I was there for the first time around 1967-1968

Looks like it says "Joe X Crump" behind the mustache guy cartoon image on the door.. What appears to be an "X" at first glance looks like a dress/bathing suit on a female image barely visible on the side of the Camaro. Did this bit of detective work using an old fashion magnifying glass and my 63 year old eyes.
NONE of this is worth anything but best I can do with what I have.

Does that name "Joe Crump" ring a bell at all for anyone?

Have you tried asking over on Yenko.net the Supercar Registry?

I know my eyes are getting old,, but I'm thinking that's a '57 Chevy wagon, not a '55 there, Rich. Just my observation.
