BADGER SPECIAL CHEVROLET
THE
BADGER SPECIAL CHEVROLET
This
started out life as a 1936 FC Chevrolet Sports, it was raced in
standard form for some years in the hands of Bob Tomms and Aubury
Badger and others untill it was crashed heavily. The RHS chassis rail
was damaged as was the body so the staff at the local garge removed the
body and replaced the chassis rail, Badgers neighbor fabricated the
body and they replaced only the necessary sheet metal in an attempt to
create a special. It runs near standard 1936 Chevrolet componentry. The
car was rescued from Kellerberrin in 1978 to be used as spares for a
1936 roadster which was then under restoration, It was not untill 1997
that it became apparent that the car had a history of racing and was
restored. It has competed in Western Australia for more than 10 years
and was driven to Victory in the Commerorative Australian Grand Prix at
Narrogin in 2001.
