1949 - Dee Powell in his race car at the Opa-locka Speedway east of the blimp hangar

Opa-locka Speedway, Dade County, Florida

Thank you to Ricky Gosney for posting this photo on Facebook which I restored somewhat in Photoshop. Opa-locka Speedway was opened in 1948 and it was located east of the blimp hangar that was located at the former Naval Air Station Miami at what is now Opa-locka Executive Airport.

other sizes: small medium original auto
