Notes: This is the first of three cars that Bloom owned and drove in 1955. They all ran with Buick engines. With a big '40 Buick Century engine, he configured this convertible Crosley so that the driver sat in the rear seat. The second car was a '31 Ford that ran in Open Gas. The third was a Ford Model T roadster that also ran in Open Gas. Photo: Arizona Republic, Feb. 6, 1955 - MB |

He re-upped his track record on December 18 with 87.63 mph. A plumber by trade, he turned over the driving reins to his wife, Madeleine, in the first half of 1956. She did very well, copping nine class victories. In 1957, he put a blower in the Vette and ran in A/MSP, taking class wins at San Fernando and San Gabriel Valley Drag Strip. He clocked over 111 mph. In 1960, he passed away at the age of 39. Photo: Drag News, April 13, 1956 - MB |
