This 1958 Pontiac Chieftain served demonstrator duty for a Freeport, Illinois, Pontiac salesman before undergoing two months of preparation for its second incarnation as a USAC stock car.

It raced in such venues as the Milwaukee Mile and Rockford, Illinois. It was retired from competition after 1962, remaining in obscurity until being discovered in 2005.
