SCF1589 #37 Pete Corey 40 Ford modified

After Whitbeck had used Corey as his roadster driver at the Perth track and at the Adirondack Speedway in West Glens Falls, Corey went on to drive a regular stock for Art Spoar, a former motorcycle racer, in a car that ended up running a sponsorship from Whitbeck. After running the Spoar #95 for a while, Corey returned back to Whitbeck, who had fielded a speedy Ford coupe [numbered 70 because his familiar #7 had been taken]. The new Whitbeck car was drilled full of holes to reduce weight and had a number of other little homegrown innovations that attracted the demanding Lebanese driver to it.
