There were
three Royal Canadian AA/FDs owned by Canadian
Gordon Jenner in the late 60s and early 70s. The
first car was an early Woody Gilmore short bodied car, the second
was a full bodied Don Long car, and the third was a short bodied
Don Long car. All powered by stock stroked 392s.
First Royal Canadian.
Woody car with a 392 in Calgary, Alberta, circa 1964. Nick Kozak
(pictured) driving. Nick traded the seat with Jenner on occasion.
A road trip.
Note the Cadillac hearse acting as a back up tow vehicle to the
Olds wagon. The race car and Olds wagon were completely destroyed
in a late night highway towing accident when the race car trailer
was hit from behind by a drunk driver.
The hearse later
came out second best in an altercation with a Canadian border
customs building.
This car, the
Royal Canadian #2, was photographed in black and white at Lions
in 1967, and in color in Edmonton Alberta in 1968. First Canadian
AA/FD in the 200s.
