It looks like Max Balchowsky's
creations have achieved automotive immortality.
Ol' Yaller I (foreground) and Ol' Yaller III at the VARA Technical Inspection held at Irwindale Speedway. Many of the cars which will compete at VARA events this year were on display. |
| Ol' Yaller III is now owned by the Petersen
Museum in Los Angeles.
Mike Larkin took Ol' Yaller I to the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. It looks like Mike turned down $31,000 for the car. (The results page is down. If you have the patience to navigate the B & J site look for: "1954 Morgensen Special".) |
