This 1957 Chevy drag car is a TRUE SURVIVOR, still wearing lacquer paint, old racing decals and LOTS of period correct racing parts. Ray Portman has owned the car for more than 40 years, raced it in the '70s and early '80s, but it has been parked since 1984. Ray pulled it out of long term storage with encouragement from his two sons, affectionately known as Meatball and Weasel.
The Portman family, along with hot rod buddies got this thing back running again, and have spent the last few years showing it off at nostalgia themed events in Kentucky. This old drag car has family history and ultimately has a sad ending as Meatball and Weasel pass away after battling illness. The car continues their legacy and proves that these things are more than just metal...they're part of the family!
