LOCAL HISTORY!
This build may look familiar as it did some time in the store showcase but has returned home as a spot was waiting for him.
*
Ron Drouillard built this model to remind him of a race car that was sponsored back in the day by one of Windsor's first Pizzerias.

FEELING THE NEED FOR SPEED?
