1st NSRA Street Rod Nats Peoria … Identity Found
However, our unknown street rodder mystery is solved. Tom and Robin Westrope from NorCal identified the award recipient as Orv Elgie who now lives in Oregon. He was receiving an award for his ’37 Ford Sedan Delivery, which for the past 44 years has resided with the Westropes. (Under the “I should have known category,” I’ve known Orv for decades but didn’t recognize him from back in the day. Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with Orv and recall many of the early memories. —B.B.)
