Fibreglass Car:

Built i

A fibreglass car that took two
years to build and that won first
Prize in the 1958 hobby show at the
Pacific National Exhibton n Van-
couver is owned by a man who has
taken up residence in Castlegar.

Steve Uricek, who started build-
ing. the car in ‘his spare time in
1956 and completed it in time to
enter it in the 1058 PNE hobby
show, was the owner of a body shop
in Richmond and has now moved
to Castlegar where he has opened
a body shop in the old Co-op gar-
age.

Mr. Uricek designed and built
the car himself. The frame is that
of a '55 Ford while the engine is a
flathead Ford, although any engine
will fit the car,
