The replica was built by Dan Webb and finished in May/June 2010, another very clean and iconic dry lakes racer. Webb, also built a handcrafted interpretation of Barney Oldfield's Golden Submarine, actually enlisted Remington himself for input and assistance. The car has been on display at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum in Pomona, California. |

Unveiled at a special party honoring Phil, who will be 90 this year, at the NHRA Museum in Pomona during LA Roadster weekend, the blue roadster was an exact recreation by Burton, Michigans Dan Webb. Webb hosted the party for 400 of Phils closest friends, including Dan Gurney, Stu Hilborn, and more. Built in 1941 and raced at the lakes from 1946-1948, the roadster consistently ran over 130 MPH running a 21 stud Ford flathead fed by two Stromberg 97 carburetors. As Dan Webb wanted this to be a perfect recreation of the beautiful lakester, he needed to look no further than our reissue of the winning Stromberg 97. Congratulations to Phil Remington and Dan Webb for creating and recreating one of the greats from hot roddings past. |
