I have recently located a vintage sports racer designed by Dick Gilcrease
around 1967 or 1968. I have an article written by him in a race magazine
which indicates he desigend a number of race cars "with moderate success"
and lived somewhere in the northeast (Boston area?). The car in question is
known as a "Cicada" and is a VW powered C sportrs racer. For some reason
his name seems very familiar to me as well as to Steve Francis at Main
Street Motorsport in New Milford CT {cc'd above}, who will hopefully help
with the restoration. Does anyone know of Dick or what cars he may have
designed? I have tried all my search engines to no avail and looked through
all my Vintage Motorsports with no mention. I just would like to get better
history on the car... if you know something, please let me know!
