Tony, do you know the Dixieland Flea Market ? There is a dealer there that has a Detroit Dragway trophy that I was thinking of buying. It is a weird one, as it has the Eiffel Tower as well as the car ? I posted a picture on the DD FB page and was immediately shot down as the moderator said it was bogus. That was until an identical one showed up on E Bay in Maryland.

I drive past there twice a day every day.

Want me to check on it?

Thanks Keith, Last time I was there was in the spring and he still had it.It has been there for at least a year before that. The plate on it looks too new to me, plus he wanted $250 . Now, how to describe which dealer it is ... if you go to the back where the food concession is, he has an enclosed room just to the right. Not on the back wall, but free standing. He is just next to my friend Kris who has the mountain of vinyl records for sale. In his booth he has a lot of non auto antiques. Cannot remember the name of the dealer. I'd be interested to hear what you think about it.

Just to be clear, I am not a customer at this point so if you want it go ahead. I'd buy Tony's first but this one is so odd with the Eiffel Tower. Now if it had the name of either of the owners of my 69 Biscayne engraved on it (Ed Carpenter or Dick Ross) I would own it by now!

I remember a Dick Ross from around here!

They typically didn't engrave the winner's name, at least for the smaller local wins. None of the trophies we won had our name on them.

Tell me you remember this car of his used for street racing ?https://ibb.co/zV5LLp0

I don't remember that specific car but I do remember he was "Mr Chevy" or some such thing.
