Guy I work with is into Devin's. Specials form the late 1950's are cool!

----Tim,,,Google "Lance Reventlow" and all your questions will be answered. I have watched the "Meisterbrau" Scarab (Augie Pabst's Scarab) at several historic races over the years. Don't know where it resides today, but the car pictured is that Scarab. Fabulous cars!!!......Bill S

I believe Augie still has the car.

Augie sold it. I watched him race it at Road America. I meant to put this under the "Other Muscle" section.

Don Yenko drove a Scarab in at least one race in the 1960s

NicKey Chevrolet Campained one of the Lance Reventlow Scarabs as &quot;NicKey Nouse&quot; a spoof on Mickey Mouse.

Don Devine also raced a Scarab back in the day and was involved with the continuation Scarabs.
