[FWDLK] 1956 NASCAR

[Jan & Roger van Hoy <vanhilla@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The June issue of Collectible Automobile has a nice article about the August 
1956 race at Road America, Wisconsin.

Some of the cars are Canadian Plodges, some are American Dodges.  [A Plodge 
was driven by Buck Baker ; I see one, possibly two more.]

What was the largest engine available in the 1956 Canadian Dodge?  303? What 
model would the two door coupes be in the race?  In addition to the possible 
weight advantage, what other reasons were there for running Canadian?

--Roger van Hoy, Washougal, WA, '55 DeSoto, '58 DeSoto, '42 DeSoto, '56 
Plymouth, '66 Plymouth, '41 Dodge
