Yes, that is Bruce Meyers. He invented the first fiberglass Dune Buggy in 1964 in his garage. The picture behind him is of number 3 Manx jumping for the famous Hot Rod photo shoot. That edition of Hot Rod sold more copies than any other before or since. I am piecing back together an original Meyers Manx to drive, (not trailer) across the US to Big Bear CA for the 50th celebration this July.
These pictures were taken this past Saturday at the Mall in Washington DC where Bruce's "Ole Red was #2 vehicle inducted into the historic register. It is the exact buggy he and Ted Mangels ran across the Baja breaking the bike records that started the Off Road Racing in the West.
