A clone of the car pictured above was recently built by employees of Chrysler Daimler as a tribute to the Ramchargers. The original was parted out as a result of the crankshaft height rule. The clone presents the car as it first appeared...in primer...at the '59 Nationals. (Best speed in its class first time on the strip.) The picture below was taken at the 2007 Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise. If you look closely, you'll see that the exhaust cones are at a slightly smaller angle than the original. Other than that, it would be difficult to find any difference. Of course, original Ramchargers living in the Detroit area oversaw the reconstruction and kept it authentic.
The fellow in the white t-shirt MIGHT be Pete McNichol, but I'm reading an awful lot into very little information. (Pete garnered quite a few NHRA records in different classes, but with the same 170 cube slant six.) Don't recognize the old timer on the right. Probably just a spectator.
