Seen here is an exact replica of a hand-built racer constructed in 1967 by Bill Wrigley Jr., supervised by his father, and raced the following year at the Kinsmen Coaster Classic, a soap box race in Montreal, Canada. It was raced for five years in total by Bill Jr. and younger brother Derek at various organized races throughout Quebec and Ontario.
