Any resemblance is strictly a coincidence, you know how first generation German families can be, on our side of the family jalopy racers were to be avoided and worse.
Freddy, Billy and Paul had the good looks,driving talent and money, my job was to get outta town.

btw: I think there's several photos in our Norwood 'drivers section' from the cut down era that show Red Cummings in his #53 copper painted cut down that also had a team car #51 (not sure if it wasn't Red's brother in the 51? the memory's going slowly)
here's a link to one of them:
