Blast's from the Past
A friend of mine lent me a few NED 'Annuals' from years ago....found some familiar names and their cars. Ewing Bros, Matyas, Ciccarone, Alessi, Woods, LeBrun, Matyas and LeBrun again bookending Joe Santangelo Sr.

Re: Blast's from the Past
Jack Matyas' number is on the unpainted Ventura in the top middle row, but could it be the same car that Al Vanis later raced at Englishtown?

Re: Blast's from the Past
Yes, they are the one and the same car. No, it is not the car that Al Vanis owned.

Re: Blast's from the Past
Never noticed that before, did he have two cars or did he just swap the front ends...notice the fender louvers.
