First Sprint in the U.S.
Here's a significant car to be added to our register - Glenn Oliveria's 1955 column-shift Sprint #1493-01398.
This was the first Sprint imported into the U.S. It was painted red in Nov.1955, and delivered to Max Hoffman in December. It came equipped with small (6") headlights, column shift, and "pistol grip" starter mechanism.
Glenn races the car (#23) frequently in CSRG and other California vintage racing events.
