John Snowberger, son of Indy 500 legend Russ Snowberger, inherited his father’s knack for crafting exquisite race cars.

Beyond models, John also restores his father’s famed Federal Engineer Specials, driving them at vintage racing events. As they say, “The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.”
