Fred Woodard: "Pickford"
Jaguar Special -- Riverside (?) 1957
This car had a long career in Southern
California racing. One of many attempts to utilize Jaguar
power with a much lighter chassis, Bill Pickford built it in the early
1950s.
Don Hulette
drove it after Woodard, first with Jaguar, then with Chevrolet power.
Its last appearance was at Riverside,
entered by Paul Cunningham for the "L.A. Times Grand Prix" on October
13, 1963. Cunningham called it the "Wide Track Special", and indeed
it had a very wide track, and a Pontiac engine. It didn't qualify
for the 200 mile main event.
(12-1-13) From author
& historian Jim Sitz:
"Pickford Jag... saw it NEW in 1953...
then reddish/orange.
This is Santa Barbara…but not sure if
Jag or Chevy power." |
