    Daytona Beach February 1956

    Corvette's first year at the NASCAR Safety and Performance Speed Trials!

    Anybody know where the finned car is..and what car it is? How about the two tone 56?

    It's Engr #6901 - a reworked 55 chassis with what once was the "prototype" 1956 body - note the absence of front fender scoops. When repainted it would appear at Daytona in the Modified class and average 147+; it would then lose the fin and run the 12 hours of Sebring and finish 9th.

    The red/white '56 appeared at Daytona Beach a a pace car, probably driven by Betty Skelton.
