Idk if this is the crowd for this car, but it’s a very rare very bad ass car. My dads 56 D500-1 convertible.
Said to have been 1 of 8 convertibles !

Arnie Beswick said his favorite race car was a D500-1 hard top and he’s had a lot of race cars

Unfortunately my dad dropped this car off for and oil change at his uncles shop and back then they drained them over night, the mechanics wife had a baby and he jumped in the car and drove it w no oil it wiped out the engine. They repaired it with a regular hemi but it never was the same .

My uncles said when my dad was going 60 in this car he could mash the throttle and it would leave rubber as long as my dad held the throttle down

My mom driving it in one pic and my dad in the other when they were about 16 or 17 in high school.
