Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum
We're racing through history!
I'm writing about a fascinating car that powerboat champion Lou Fageol built and enjoyed, and it would be great to be able to include a photo of him in the published story.
The car is a 1933 Chrysler Imperial phaeton into which Lou Fageol installed a Cadillac V-16 engine. He planned and executed all of the necessary alterations to permit the engine swap, and by all accounts the result was a fast, good-driving car.
If anyone can help me out with this, I would be extremely grateful. All I have been able to come up with is the advertisement for Harper's whiskey that mr. Fageol lent his likeness to in the mid 1950s, and a low-resolution image of him at the Rooster Tail together with Dan Arena, Guy Lombardo and Duke Maylon.
Thanks in advance,
