OK so the cool truck got away and we could not affort the double decker pizza bus or any of the sand rails. But THIS!

Is the car really really small, or is that steering wheel just really really big? That's what I call manual power steering: the bigger the wheel, the easier it is to turn. And what else runs in H class? Isetas?
That car is tiny. You think Stan looks big in a Spyder. Can you imagine him sitting in that.
You know -- among my peers out here on the corn-fed prairie, I'm definitely not the smallest ballerina on the stage, but I'm also by no means the largest. I'm definitely a double-extra-jumbo on a global scale, but I'm surrounded by enormous men. I'm not talking "Wall-E" flubberbutts, I'm talking 6'6" 275 lb behemoths. The average commercial jobsite is loaded with guys like me on up. Little guys don't make it for the long haul.
Apparently, there were not a lot of my ilk racing SCCA H-Modified in 1948. I'm pretty sure the average card-carrying tradesman in any Peoria local (painters excepted) would fold that thing in half.
The steering wheel looks like it got borrowed from a Willys Jeep.
Ed would look just about right in that thing.
I was thinking Stan would need two of them. One skate for each foot.
An LT crate engine at 6.2 liters would really wake it up, eh fellas?
750 cc's and a 3 speed- it's a ripper!
