1952 Voodoo Gardner Special

Roadster

This one-off special was conceived in the mind of a young man, Jerry Gardner, in 1952. Jerry was 18 when he started his build. The body design of the Voodoo was heavily influenced by a coachbuilt sports car at the time, the Briggs Cunningham C1. Power was provided by a Cadillac 346 cubic-inch flathead V8 which produced 150 horsepower. Jerry continued working on the car from 1952 through about 1955. During this time he was also in the military and spent time in Europe. It was there that he had a German fabricator design and fashion the front grille. He stopped working on the car in 1955 and kept the unfinished 'Voodoo Gardner' with him his entire life. Sadly he passed away never having finished the car.

Under new ownership, the car has been restored and makes its debut in the 2020 Amelia Island Concours D'Elegance.
