To be honest I have no idea. Sorry, maybe Dan could provide that information.

Here is another pic.

The cars are probably of no relation but I would bet there may have been some collaboration in the design .

Roy brought his scrap book into my brothers shop a few years ago and the boys made a copy of it . It has some good stuff in it . Old race run downs and some pretty cool pictures of his old rides . If you make it through Salem stop in at Stewart Automotive and check it out .

Dan, I would love to see that! Is Roy still with us? I hadn't heard his name mentioned in the present tense in years and thought maybe he had passed. He has to be very near 80. My high school metal shop teacher (greatest educator I ever had!) lives in Salem now and I'm going to visit him soon because I'm not sure how much longer he will be with us. When I go over there, I'll stop in your shop. The rides I remember most are the yellow #31 (with the chopped Ford tail piece), a "gold plated" modified, and a gold #37 with white trim and numbers on it. Thanks for the invite, Dan!

Dan, you may be sorry for that invite. Lol. Cecil was my teacher and i didn't learn a damn thing....he he he. Dan i do have one question for ya. Is any of calvin's brothers still living. I think he had three. Maude asked me to ask you or your dad. I know you know maude is from salem. Her brother went to school with calvin. Thanks chris

Roy lives over at Scottsburg and the last time I seen him he was in great shape.

I don`t know about the Gilstrap brothers. I`m going out to Dad`s in a few minutes . I will find out and post back.

I will see if I can scan some of Dad`s old pictures. They have hung out in the shop so long they are pretty faded.
