1927 Ford Modified Roadster Navigation
Fred 'Spade Carillo' was a competitive member of the SCTA Road Runners Club. In the early 1950s, he built several modified roadsters. This example, constructed in partnership with Robert Betz, clocked a one-way 178.162 mph run at Bonneville in 1951. The tubular frame was handmade, using PBY Catalina 'Flying Boat' wing strut tubing and 3-inch tubing from the cross members. A sturdy roll bar under the cowl was designed to protect the driver if the roadster overturned. The fastest roadster-type car at the Salt in 1951, this car was recently restored by Frank Morawski of Bel Air, Maryland. After an accident in a Chrysler-powered streamliner at Bonneville, Carillo went on to a very successful career designing and manufacturing extremely strong tubular con-rods that were used in the Le Mans - winning Ford GT40s and Jack Brabham's 1966 World Drivers Championship - winning racecar.
