I think it is a Tiger. I don't know for sure. I found it looking at photos of the old Meadowdale Raceway.

And don't give me a hard time. I've owned several Jeeps. And I generally like them, unless I have to drive somewhere.

Quarter panel looks like a '55 T-bird with the wheel arch opened up a little higher.

In reply to Kia_Racer:

I did a Google Image Search and it brings up this forum topic on a 50's racer called an Edwards Special. I actually can't see the pictures because work blocks Photobucket but I think that's what it is:

http://forums.autosport.com/topic/106120-the-edwards-special/

Since I can't be of more help, have a silly picture instead!

John Haas/Robert Roloson - '55 Thunderbird as seen above.

I couldn't get the one forum.autosport pic to link, but it is the one on the grid next to the Corvette.

looks vaguely like a Tiger, except the grill is wrong and the scallop down the side isn't a Tiger … doesn't look like an old T Bird either …

seems all I can say is what it DOESN'T look like …LOL … no help for what is DOES look like

thought it might be the T'Bird … the scallop ends like the T'birds tail light… though the quarter panel doesn't look like it .. and the grille could have been worked over and had it's shape changed …and the front quarter with the vent could be the T'Bird

Did you know there is a B-29 at the bottom of Lake Mead?

I'm quite certain it is a 55 or 56 Thunderbird that has had the headlight bezels, rear wheel arches and possibly the rear tail light bezels altered.
