Cy was a dealer for Mccullugh - Paxton superchargers. That is why there is a pair of them on his T. I collect automotive cutaways, and a few years ago I bought a cutaway of a Paxton from Cy. It has a shelby badge on it.

I always hit Cy on his pricing in a good natured way.. I accused him of just pulling that trailer around as a rolling museum rather than a parts vendor... He had some really cool stuff...I left a lot of my Benjamins with him over the years.. I have a lot of great stories I could tell at his expense.
The T actually was a 368 Lincoln Y Block It has twin Paxtons on it. He showed it to me one time stored in a semi trailer.. It was in need of some resto work. In Cy fashion he wanted 50K for it. I heard he later sold it for less than 20.. He was a player in early drag racing. He had a 40 Coupe that was powered by an injected Lincoln that held some national records for a while. He also put a Cammer in a 48 Lincoln coupe. It sold at the NSRA nats when it was in St Paul one year.
