Local chassis builder Don "Duck" Collins built this stock-block, DeSoto-powered Champ Car in 1957 and it was raced by Indy car standout Art Pollard for McLure Plastics of Portland. It was campaigned through the 1968 season, when it qualified for every race. When the car was no longer competitive, Collins locked it away in a shed, where it stayed until he died. Owner Del McLure got the car and restored it to its 1957 specifications, including the original fuel-injected DeSoto Hemi engine.
