’57 Chevy: Quick Silver

Life with the ’57 wasn’t always so grand, though. Ben bought the ’57 as an unfinished project car, salivating at the thought of carving corners in an off-beat hot rod. The 47-year-old retired investor had dabbled in multiple racing disciplines. He ran NHRA Supergas with Jack Beckman (Yes, that Jack Beckman) as his crew chief and headed south to Mexico to race the SCORE Baja 1000 off-road race. Ben had high expectations for the Tri-Five. Already painted, the car ostensibly needed just a few finishing details. Ben’s first trip to Willow Springs Raceway quickly turned sour.
