In the 1950s there was an entrant named Jack Pry. I know Dr. Dick Thompson, Duncan Black and Charlie Wallace drove for him. What was his background?

Found this webpage,

which has some info, including this:

"...The Jack Pry Company was the major foreign car dealer and service facility in DC..."

Vince Howlett, Victoria, B.C., Canada

That's a great photo of the Porsche next to the C and O canal. I wouldn't walk in that area at night now without several armed guards. In the '50s that area was awesome.

Sure sounds like owning a Porsche in the early was an "adventure".

Jack Pry was one of the largest Volkswagen dealers in the District of Columbia in the mid 1950's. Prior to that, he was a Crosley dealer in the late 1940's.
