[Tigers] Hollywood Sports Car #55

[drmayf]

Hi guys! While at Bonneville  in October a friend brought me a copy  of 
Classic Motorsports magazine, Issue #129, November 2007 because it has a 
great article on Doane Spencer's #55 car. It has apparently been 
completely restored to better than it ever was. There are two photos 
showing the front and rear hubs with the wheels removed. At least in 
this versoinof the car, they are true knock offs with pin drives.  The 
article mentions that the wheels are "unobtanium HSC cast wheels". The 
tires are brand new, having never been on the ground before and were 
donated by a man who knew the driver of the GT 350 that beat Doane out 
of the C production title in 1968  and he was happy to donate the tires 
to the resto project. The hood was found in an attic of a gentle man who 
had owns a tiger and it had the #55 car's hood on it for some odd 
reason, now lost to history but he made a donation to the restoration as 
well. . If anyone is a fan of this car as I am, then please find a copy 
of this magazine! the article runs about 8 pages and that's a lot these 
days.
