1949 Edwards R-26

The world is full of confusing racecar stories. This is one of them.

I read with great interest, Jonathan Stein’s recent article in Vintage Roadcar, “Going Supersonic” (December 2017) about the winding history of the 1949 Fageol Supersonic and how shortly following its world debut at the Indy 500 it was dismantled; body going in one direction, chassis and running gear going in another, producing two cars from one.
