​   This car was purchased by Ed Rachanski Sr. from its then owner as the Elmer George H.O.W. Offy.  After purchasing the car, Rachanski learned of two other people who had built #21 H.O.W. Offys, so rather than get into a contest as to “who has what,” Rachanski rebuilt the car to resemble a car on which he was chief mechanic in 1959, with Skip Michaels as driver racing in USAC 1959-1960.
