Not sure it's the same car I'm looking for. This is the car I'm looking for the early history on. I can't tell if they are the same. I know Red drove this car in '64 and '65, but I don't know what happened to it between then and '72.

First off...thanks BigFeet..
I forwarded this shot to Bob June. He got a big kick out of it. he was thinking that this was at Chemung...most likely 1954.
I had the pleasure of dining with Bucky Dew and his wife at the last Cuba Lake reunion... they are just the nicest folks.
My step-father, Art "Sonny" Lynch, raced against Bucky back in the day. One of his most memorable moments racing was when he was wheeling Jack Bristol's car at Chemung and ended up getting hooked from  behind by Bucky. Try as he might, he just was not able to shake Dew off, so they ended up going over the stripe 2nd and 3rd. After the race Bucky came looking for Art. Dew had a reputation of being someone you did not mess with, so Art went and hid. He figured that way he would live to fight another day :)
Now...another shot from the '65 Oswego yearbook.
