My uncle was Paul Russo driver of the NOVI. I have been looking for a model of the NOVI for sometime now. I did a Google image search and found this forum. I went to the 56 Indy where he drove the red NOVI so this is the one I want. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ed

Paul Russo was one of my mother's favorite drivers.

Great to have you here. Lots of helpful guys here, hopefully one with an extra Novi. When it is time to build there is a ton of knowledge about these cars from the guys here, it really shows that this was a favorite to have such a rabid following some 50-60 years later!

Well let's take this full circle...I have drawings of the Fageol Special from 1946....2 midget Offy engines; 1 driving front wheels and 1driving the rears...a very cool car that I would love to build...welllll, PAUL RUSSO put it in the middle of the front row in '46...also, Lou Fageol is the owner of HYDROS Calvin is building...proves it's a small modeling world where NOVIS, FAGEOL, HYDROS and RUSSO intertwine...
PS: Calvin, I think it!s Slo Motions (?) Tim

Tim I don't know anything about the indycar involvement but Lou Fageol was one of the drivers for the Slo-mo-shun boats in the early 50's for owner Stan Sayres of Seattle.
