Racing Red...

Here's a great snap of Jean Burkhard, wife of Jack Burkhard, preparing to take my Singer out for a run around the cones at a Gymkana somewhere in Los Angeles circa summer of '53. The car is sporting a fresh coat of fire engine red on the body and a slightly darker shade of red on the wings.

Not to be out-done, Jack Burkhard's friend Curt Parker puts the Singer through its paces with a young John Burkhard in the passenger's seat taking photos.
