1954 December Issue of Rod & Custom

[SPARKY]

In an article about car shows on page 31 there is a picture of a
 Rear Eng. Roadster with 4c on the door

Across the nose you can only see part of the name  AMOND 
from the spacing I would suspect there may be 2 letters missing

on the left just under the cowl  you can read   CAGLE
under it may be                                           FUGAIT    or FUGATT

neat little round nose car  any one know anything about it?

Historians???

That roadster was called the black diamond at the time. Had Clark Cagle's engine in it. The car is really the black widow REMR roadster and is now in Lattins collection. I drove the car in 1957 with Joe Maillard's chrys engine in it.  Had a 4  mile time of 196 mph and broke the crank in the  5th mile taching over 215 mph. Drive train locked up and I spun off course.
