Met Buddy Ingersoll

[Gbody5]

Shook his hand and had brief conversation, all at a small car show in Southern Illinois on July 2nd.

I was in my 87 GN, got a top 20 plaque. Buddy took best of show with a magnificent 1950 chopped and slammed Mercury and another Ingersoll; his brother I suspect, took home a trophy for his 1949 Mercury. Both cars were absolutley top notch.

Just had to share. :wink:

was anything mentioned about that white pro stock regal he had ? im just wondering what ever happened to that car .

 

[Gbody5]

No, the conversation was pretty light, I complimented him on his Merc's. He did say his brother or son, can't remember for sure has a couple of GN's, I'll bet they have some secret recipe's in them.

The guy who use to drive your hauler came up to a car show in Centralia, this summer. He made a bee line to my car and 2 hours later of stories his wife told him he had to leave......:biggrin: I think he use to be an accountant?
Seemed like a nice guy. Full of stories though...

I want to see more Diamond T pics.
I have always though about building a crewcab Diamond REO, updated interior with all the creature comforts & powered by a newer Diesel.

Very nice cars, Buddy. Mercs are very nice cars! I just want to thank you for all you done for the Buick reputation when you were racing! Stuff legends are made of!
