	1955 Chevrolet Corvette - Road Tests - Car and Driver November 2002
		For the 1955 model year, Chevrolet's two-seater finally gained the muscle to fulfill the promise of its catch-me-if-you-can exterior.
		Zora Arkus-Duntov saw that the Corvette had turned the corner, and he was determined to solidify its growing high-adrenaline image.
		And that message was coming through loud and clear: the Corvette was rapidly developing the capability to take on — and even beat — many of the best sports cars on earth.

	Internal Revenue Manual - 7.25.26 Amateur Sports Organizations
		A "qualified amateur sports organization is" defined in IRC 501(j)(2) as an organization organized and operated exclusively to foster national or international amateur sports competition if it is also organized and operated primarily to conduct or to support and develop amateur athletes for national or international competition in sports.
		Sports activity is not in and of itself an exempt activity under IRC 501(c).
		These activities are typical of "qualified amateur sports organizations." Thus, the IRC 501(c)(3) prohibition on the provision of athletic facilities and equipment is effectively negated for the typical amateur sports organization.

		Physical education and sports are increasingly a regular part of Soviet citizen's lives.
		So the U-turn in sports policy - its angles actually slightly softened by participation in a few international events during the five years preceding 1952 - fit the Soviet pattern of restoring pre-revolutionary goals and practices, even some of the most hated, when it was expedient.

	1955 Ford Bubbletop - Rod And Custom Magazine
		Since most of the 1955 factory sheetmetal had been reduced to dust, Gary had to hand-form the body panels, using a dozen 4x8 sheets of 18-gauge steel.
		On August 19, the Beatnik rolled onto the block at the Monterey Sports and Classic Car Auction in Monterey, California, and sold for $360,000 plus commission.
		We're confident that whoever went home with this amazing bubbletop will continue in the tradition of Starbird, Barris, Roth, the Alexander brothers, and other early customizers, who were not only builders but showmen.
