Solved - MJW #638 - Witton Special 1960

[Otto Puzzell]

Indeed - it looks a lot different - I never would have guessed they are the same car. Witton actually built a handful of specials in the 1960's, along with formula cars.

Are these indeed the same car? I suppose that the car could have been modified over the years, as was typical of low-budget constructor-racers. Here are more pics of the car in woodinsight's puzzle:

Perhaps this is a partial clarification. When entered at the 2005 and 2006 Monterey Historics, it had this sign affixed. It leads me to believe the first puzzle represents how the car looked in 1959, and the second puzzle was a later iteration.

I agree.  It's too similar for it to be a different car altogether I think; and both are described as 1959 (or 1960) Witton-Chevrolets.
