I helped the owner Bob meet FRED YEAKEL and other racers from the day. Bob connected the dots of history and is doing a great restoration on this neat car. RICHARD FORTIER , from Michigan and PARAGON founder owned the car for many years.

Just for picking nits, I think you'll find that both Jim Jeffords and Dave Morgan (Johnson/Morgan) were blind in one eye and were certainly licensed in both FIA and SCCA.
