Spyder 550 550A

Hi Vance,

it is Dick Hyland driving 550-0021 at Hobo Hill in 1969

Yes, McHenry's car did have some of the parts off 550-0055 - superstitious or not...




Cars and coffee before they knew it existed...

Found this photo of Denise McCluggage driving a 550A which looks like race #50. Can 't find any listing of her driving this car - any help..?

Hi Andrew, Looks to be this race from what I can gather. Notice the tail on the seven that could fool you into thinking its a five in your photo.

Thanks Vance.

Linda Scott driving the 550A is still a grey area as I have been told by a reliable source that the Zipper 550A is 550A-0135, not 550A-0133 as recorded in the Carrera book...

I have this photo with Ken Miles, but I cannot find any listing with another 550A #19 in the same race...

I hope Vietta hasn't abandoned us Andrew.

Yes, Vietta, will you still be active on this site - there is still so much to sort...

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for the note. We have suspended our work on the projects until we receive direction.

I have enjoyed my time with the Forum and have learned so much, corrected errors and found many new and surprising races and details.

Best regards,

Vietta
