Spyder 550 550A

Reboot thread for the early Spyder.

Start off the reborn thread with a tricky one...

This is supposedly the 1957 Sebring practice/reserve spyder owned by John von Neumann

If you look up the race records, it says it is #73...

Nice rear of a 550A. The white 550 #15 is 550-0016. Blue with white hood #58 is 550-06. Coupe #154 is 550-01. The other white spyder from 1969 is Dick Hyland in 550-0021 at Hobo Hill. Not sure of blue spyder #56 - not clear enough...

Guys,

Kind of a busy day here (but a good one---see litigation thread). So, only a comment re Start 58. As noted before, I do not believe that 550-06 ever went to Mexico. This is 550-13. Segura owned and sold that car. It will all be in the book.

Have not really looked at others.

Is this Richie Ginther's spyder #211?

[Steve Heinrichs]

Well, this is a tough one---we think 550-09 (obviously with a modified rear) at 1956 Pomona with Ritchie G.
