Memorabilia

Jacket that belonged to Ed’s first wife Christine. Labeled as being from 1961, it was probably chosen in yellow as that was the color of the $ car that Ed raced prominently during the early 1960s.

New London-Waterford. Car owner Bill Simons constructed and ran numerous “Excavator Special” Modifieds from the ’50s through to the ’70s. This car is numbered “09”, but is unrelated to Art Barry’s #09 which Ed and also Bob Santos raced very successfully in the late ’60s-early ’70s. In this picture the driver is Charlie Webster.
