1946-1949 - The Dominant Blue Crowns
Color - Approx. 60 minutes + 15 minutes of B&W BONUS footage from 1948 and 1949.
Home movies from the month of May at Indianapolis from 1946 through 1949 with music, engine sounds and narration!
After 4 years of war, it was uncertain there would be an Indianapolis 500, but
three time winner Wilbur Shaw didn't want to see the Speedway go the way of the wrecking ball, so he looked for
interested buyers who would preserve the Speedway. He found such a buyer in Anton "Tony" Hulman Jr. It would take a
miracle to get the track ready for a race in May of 1946, but amazingly Tony and Wilbur pulled it off and the 1946
'500' was a success.
As most pre-war cars had been stored away, there were only a handful of new cars built for the 1946 '500', one of
them being the Novi. Former driver turned car owner Lou Moore liked the idea of the sleek cigar shaped front drive
Novi and he built two smaller versions with Offenhauser engines for 1947 and thus the Blue Crown Spark Plug Specials
were born.
The 1947 race saw the controversial "EZY" sign given to both Blue Crown drivers Mauri Rose and Bill Holland, but
only Rookie Holland, who was leading at the time, slowed which allowed veteran Rose to pass and win his second '500'.
In 1948 the powerful Novi driven by Duke Nalon did lead, but a mix up on fuel during the last pit stop cost
Duke the race and gave Rose his third win and Holland second yet again. 1949 saw Duke leading early from the pole, but his
bid for a win was cut short by a spectacular wreck caught here in never before seen footage.
