Forrest Shropshire's name is on the side of this car, he was a racer from Cartersville, Georgia that passed away a few years ago. He had a large collection of fifties Chevies and I think most were sold at auction. He ran stock eliminator in the 60's and 70's and was mainly known for his "Milk Crate"'56 225HP wagon. Forrest was very competitive and he and Bruce Wilkinson had the fastest wagons in this part of the country. In later years he ran alot of Super Chevy events and also competed at Bonneville with a '57 Vette. Forrest was a great guy and if I remember correctly he and Linda Vaughn were from the same area and knew each other well.
