Wouldn't you love for this Coral red 1957 sedan to be your second car? Geoff Peterson of Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada is better known for his Garnet Red 1959 sedan, but decided to build this oval window as a lightweight street/strip racer. The oval weighs in at only 1550 lbs. thanks to the use of custom made fiberglass fenders (with factory rolled edges) as well as glass hood, deck-lid and running boards. The interior is minimal with only a pair of fiberglass bucket seats. The seats and door panels have been upholstered in a two-tone biscuit style, so this isn't a gutted out race-car. Geoff street drives the oval on an almost daily basis depending on the weather, only needing a pair of ear plugs to make the solid mounted engine more livable! The best time so far has been a 12.55 @ 104.65 at Seattle Int. Raceway.
