Dave's first Corvette was this 1955 beauty. Dave raced all of his Vettes at the San Gabriel Valley Drags and won
many races in the car below.

The man definitely had style.

Below: He and Sherry later had the 55 Corvette painted green.

Interesting that long before Dave began racing Cobras for Shelby, he had snakes painted on the hood of his 55 Vette

This is Dave's 55 Vette today, fully restored to its original beauty by current owners Scott & Marilyn Davis.

The car is rated 98% original and is currently on display at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green Kentucky

Dave's son Rich stands with Scott & Marilyn at the 2010 Legends of Riverside event.

In 1957, while Dave worked for McDonald & O'Boyle Chevrolet, he & Sherry bought this new 1958 Chevy Impala

Dave also bought a 1957 Chevy Nomad and for years used it to tow his race cars. (Richie)

Dave holds Richie by his yellow 58 Vette. Trophies began to add up as Dave rarely lost at the drags.

Sherry looking glamorous as she and Dave leave for dinner. Dave bought this coat for Sherry in 1963 and today, in
2010, Sherry still has this cherished memory in her closet!

Here is the original invoice for Dave's 63 Stingray

Dave & Sherry at home in the sparkling new 1964 Thunderbird. Ford loaned the car to Dave while he raced for Shelby

In a kind gesture, Ford Motor Company & Carroll Shelby gave the car to Sherry after Dave's death at Indy
