I'm looking for any old photos, stories, or information about The Rectifier 1 and 2 sponsored by Demmer Tool & Die that anyone may have. The original Rectifier was a 1964 Cutlass F-85 442. Both were raced by Tom "Blake" Blankenship who worked for Mr. Demmer and was an engineer for Oldsmobile as well. Thank you!

 

Welcome to the site, I'm assuming you are a relative. Hopefully someone may have some info or a direction for you.

 

The photo you posted of the 65 is the only 65 picture Ive seen

 

There also was a 66 Rectifier, and iirc it was called Rectifier 2. The photos I have are part of magazine articles from back then.

 

Yes, Tom Blankenship is my grandpa. I'm making a scrap book for him and my dad, Mike Blankenship, of his racing days.
The Rectifier 1 was a 64, and Rectifier 2 a 66. Both raced and built by my grandpa sponsored by John.

 

Do you know which magazines? My grandma saved lots of the magazines he was featured in, but I'm just trying to collect as much about his racing and experimental engineering days as possible. Thanks!

 

This car is a 65.

If you have more photos of this car Id love to see them.
