Nice job Cman....that is correct! actually was built in1951, but the name was what's important.
This roadster has an interesting history....(a little copy/paste)
if anyone is interested...some more info can be found Here: http://silodrome.com/dal-porto-roadster/Del Porto was crashed heavily at the salt lakes in 1953, the wreckage was stored in a shed until the 1970s when it was sold on to a new buyer, this new buyer then sold it on in 1999. A much overdue 3000 hour full restoration took place in 2010 at Classic Craft Motorsports in Springfield, Ohio and the car now lives in the collection of Kerry Horan.
