Re: Smothers Brothers cars?
I just spent a few days with Jimmy Waibel at his house and attended the P R I Show with him. He does in deed have his first Smothers Brothers Olds and has intensions of restoring it. In the guest bedroom that I stayed in there were 3 Smothers Bros. Racing Team Jackets hanging in the closet.
Jimmy and his wife Margret are great people and I always look foreward to my visits with them each year. George Peterson D/S 4448 |

Re: Smothers Brothers cars?
Yes, we do still have the car and yes we are currently looking for help and even potential sponsors to help get this car restored! It needs ALOT of work.. anyone with ideas please feel free to contact us!! We need all the help we can get. As all of you know Jimmy is getting up there in age and we would like to get this done sooner rather than later - As I would love to see him with it at the track as a show car!!!
We also have a picture of the Smothers Brothers Jacket! My son spent the night over at the house and thought it was the coolest thing when his grandpa let him wear the jacket!!!! He was on cloud nine!!!! If anyone has good pictures that have logos in them please forward to us so that we can make sure that we get it all right..

Re: Smothers Brothers cars?
I believe the Olds that Buddy Ingersoll raced in Super Stock, in the 70's, was Jim Waibel's old Smothers Brothers car, Correct me if I am wrong!

Re: Smothers Brothers cars?
As an Olds enthusiast, I think the last Smothers Brothers car that Jim Waibel drove was a red '69 Olds. The Super Stocker that Buddy Ingersoll raced was a white '72 model, however, I think it may have been one of Jim Waibel's previous cars since the striping it had was identical to another Olds stocker that Waibel raced. I'm sure someone that frequents this forum knows for sure.

Re: Smothers Brothers cars?
I think Eddie is correct. The one Buddy bought was not not a Smothers Bros car.
