QUINCY D. EPPERLY enjoyed considerable success as a race car builder. After several years with Frank Kurtis and a brief partnership with Lujie Lesovsky, he formed his own company. In 1957, Jim Rathmann drove an \u201cEpperly\u201d to a second place finish in the Indianapolis 500, directly behind Sam Hanks who drove George Salih\u2019s revolutionary chassis \u201clayover\u201d design for which Quin had crafted the bodywork. George Amick and Tony Bettenhausen finished second and fourth, respectively, in brand-new Epperly \u201claydowns\u201d in 1958. A third-place finish by Paul Goldsmith in 1960 in an Epperly race car was followed by front-row starts in an Epperly for Don Branson and Jim Hurtubise in 1961 and for Bobby Marshman in 1962. Epperly even crafted the bodywork for Craig Breedlove\u2019s jet-powered \u201cSpirit of American Sonic I,\u201d which exceeded 600 miles per hour for the flying mile over the Bonneville (Utah) Salt Flats in 1965.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8880,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\nQuincy Epperly - IMS Museum<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/devsite.techchart.io\/imsmuseumfame_inductee\/quincy-d-epperly\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Quincy Epperly - IMS Museum\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"QUINCY D.
