Byron F. Quivey Race Car

March 1963, I was 2 years old. This is one of my grandfathers race cars he was building in Santa Ana CA at the Quivey Tire Service on Main Street.

#538

This photo was taken when teh race car was not quite finished. It is called the PIRELLI SPECIAL and after this photo was taken 'Pirelli Special' was written in yellow lettering on her.

He was the first person I heard to import and sell Pirelli Tires. He loved Mercedes Benz engines and spat upon Volkswagen Engines, when I wanted to buy a 'bug' he prohibited it.

It is said my grandfather gave up racing in his 50's when he was involved in a track accident and a young driver was killed.
