300 owners in Minesota orWisconsin?

["christopher beilby" <thelastbestgenius@xxxx>]

I am trying to trace/verify the early history of my 300 C, that the club 
apparently knows as the Flying Mile Car.

1. Does anyone live near Fond Du Lac - can supply any detail of what it was 
like in 1957? The supposed original owners were Dan and Ernie Turskey of 
Fond Du Lac Wisconsin, and the car was supplied by Joe Bacchus Chrysler who 
helped fit a McCulloch supercharger to then run on Daytona Beach 1957.

2. A search on the internet brought up nothing on Joe Bacchus Chrysler, but 
the spelling may be different, or else they have closed, or now have a 
different name. Anyone live near there, or any clues how to track them, 
anything about them, back then?

3. Does anyone in the club own, or know of, an earlier 300 (most likely 55 
if they were 6 volt) that was owned by the Turskeys - amongst paperwork is a 
May 1956 warranty claim to McCulloch when it was still at West Olive St 
Inglewood CA (to a John Thompson) for a claim on the supercharger fitted to 
an earlier 300 they then owned.
Also in the parerwork is a pencil notation indicating that this earlier 
blower was traded in on the blower fitted to their new 300C being built for 
Daytona. The present owner of this '55 300 may not realise it had a blower 
fitted if it later removed when sold - that is if the car still exists?! 
The only reason I think the first 300 was 6 volt is that is the voltage 
indicated on the hand drawn wiring diagram re the electric blower hi speed 
solenoid.

4. The 300C was seemingly sold by original race brothers about 1977 to a 
Carl Reirson of Ford St Monona - does anyone know of him, what his current 
status, last known?

Any help appreciated, gave it a polish and started it yesterday, but a real 
mongrel wet day here, so left it at that for then.
