The 1st airbox car

[Joseph T.]

Below is a picture of the Bill Mitchell SR2 clearly showing the custom air box and unique FI air filter extension as seen on the 1957 Nassau car.

Joe -

Your picture reminded me of this one of a Johnson Grand Sport in my collection.

Yes it started life as a st.Louis built 56
that was sent to design. I forget the VIN
off hand but it is something like 2634.

It was sold to Eb Rose for $1 after the
1957 AMA ban.

Bill Tower has owned it for quite some
time.

Fabulous car.
