    I'm 70 and I've only seen one in person and that was at Dick Guldstrand's shop when he was in Culver City.

    Thank you Lou and Fred! I have always been fascinated with the Cheetah ever since I saw the very one you are featuring in this video back in 1964 at Alan Greene Chevrolet in Burien, WA. near SeaTac airport. Being only 10 at the time and no camera, I don't remember there being any wheel flares. But hey, my heart was racing with excitement to see and touch the first race car ever in my life! The roof could have caved in and I wouldn't have noticed. It was a real blessing to see an old friend again. THANK YOU!!!

    I remember the slot cars, do you remember the full size slot car tracks you could go to that were in like a grocery store size place with multiple tracks.

    I saw that car being drag raced at Pacific Raceways back when it was new! I believe Jerry Grant's wife was driving it that day. The cars were brand-new at the time and she did a couple of demo passes with it. Alan Green Chevrolet was a local dealership in Seattle, WA.

    This race car is unknown to me, very interesting. Hope Fred wasn’t cheated on the price he paid for his Cheetah. A good story Lou.
