Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight

[treessavoy]

I raced a white 64 savoy around central Texas and don't remember seeing this car.

Is your friend wanting to sell the car or is he planning to restore it?

Harmie, You may be on to something. I remember a Dickie Simpson, but can't remember his car.

There is a Dickie Simpson in Denton and looks to be the dad of Todd Simpson, TA/FC runner. He seems to own a construction company from a Googly search. I hope that helps out.

Thanks James.. you nailed it for me!! Sorry about the faded memories...

Both of Dickie's sons have facebook pages if it helps Byron or Todd Simpson

I've reached out to both Marc. Also left a message on the VM for the race shop. Hopefully the lead pans out.

Thanks a bunch for helping out fellas.
