From Sam Phillips:
"The car was owned by Bob Lester; he
died in 1966 at the age of 43. Bob was married to Julie and there
were 2 premises: one was listed as (Service) 2306 East 71st Street
Chicago 49 Illinois. MI 3-3113. The 2nd place was listed as Foreign
Car Hospital, (Sales), 5340 Lake Park Avenue, Chicago 15 Illinois DO 3-0707.
Known mechanics: Joe Manka (head
mechanic), Ray Shelhaze. The bodyman's first name was Carlos (I don't
know his second name).
Bob also raced cars. The team manager
was Maj (An Irishman ,I don't know his second name). Team drivers
were Terry Jesk, John Hill, Jon Do, Ron Latelellia, and Bob Hatley.
The team was known as "Team Wink" with a logo on each side of the fender.
Places raced: Meadowdale, Elkhart
Lake, Wilmot, with the SCCA Chicago Region and Midwest Council. Terry
Jesk is helping out as is Ross Fossbender (my gratitude to both). If anyone
can help with any information on the car or any of the people, places,
or anything at all, it would be helpful."
