1951 Stratford, Ontario soap box champion Marvin Thomas

Summary[edit]

Description
English: This is a vintage soapbox derby racer named Miss Canada, which was driven by Gary and Marvin Thomas, both champions at the Optimist Day soapbox derby race in Stratford, Ontario from 1951 to 1954. Gary won in '51, then Marvin the next three years. Their success, they believe, was in the wheels. Sheathed in sheet metal, the sturdy-built car had a curvilinear body attached to a wooden floor. Axletrees ran through the body, the front axle being fitted with a working suspension. The driver sat upright against an upholstered seat. Peculiar to this racer was that it had no brakes, a condition commensurate with the kind of race being run in Stratford, where the winner was the racer that traveled the farthest down the hill.
