|
The 1948 Auto Shippers Special represents a
milestone in the evolution of American open wheel race cars, the
pinnacle of the upright sprint cars that raced...everywhere, on dirt,
pavement and bricks, from Indy's 2 1/2 mile expanse to tight bullrings
in the hands of drivers with legendary skills, courage, sensitivity and
reactions. It embodies Bill Schindler's talents, a driver who could make
a frog look like a prince, seizing the best from machinery, tracks and
opportunities with modesty and good humor. It is a driver's car, driven at Indianapolis by one of the best drivers of the era, Bill Schindler. Multiple-time Indy 500 participant |
