Thanks JoeC. You've opened the door for a little Rosenthal Corvette history!

Hey Everyone,

About a year ago I contacted a gentleman out in Tulsa, OK who owns a historic 1957 Corvette racer that was sponsored that racing year by Bob Rosenthal. Once I began reading about this very successful 1957 fuelie racer I realized that I had an important photograph of the car. It was given to me by Hugh Lowe, owner of Lowe Chevrolet many years earlier. I wanted to send a copy to it's rightful owner.

Check out this photo. It places the car at Rosenthal Chevrolet circa 1957-1959 with Bob Rosenthal to the left, an unknown gent in the middle and Hugh Lowe to the right. Most of the racer isn't visible but you can make out the #114 on the rear fender. Such a cool photo.

The owner was very thankful and sent me the following articles, ads and photos. He was a personal acquaintance of Bob Rosenthal and during one of his visits Bob posed again for a "before & after" photo shoot of him sitting on the #114 racer as shown in the old 1959 "Corvette Chief" ad included here. Can't get much cooler than this!

Enjoy, Mike
