Voodoo Magic: Jerry Gardner's Voodoo Special

15 Mocking Up The Design Jerry was inspired by the 1951 Cunningham C1 in shape, size, and power—the Cadillac drivetrain. Moving forward, he created the shape of his car using a small handcrafted wooden model. No detail was left to the imagination, and his model showed the grill, bumpers, 1940 Ford headlight bezels he wished to use, the interior, windshield, and even the exhaust ports. His work served as a useful guide for what would become a significant effort. He chose the color for his car, the whitewalls, the interior configuration and more. Jerry ’ s model appears on this page and the opposing page. At Left and Above: Model of Voodoo Special Built by Jerry Gardner in 1952
