Winnipeg owner of famous Alberta dragster donates it to museum near Edmonton
WETASKIWIN, Alta. — A Canadian drag racer that was one of the fastest vehicles on four wheels has returned home to Alberta for a spot in a provincial museum.
Wheeler Dealer, a top fuel dragster that roared to victories on the international circuit in the 1970s, has been donated to Alberta’s fleet of historic vehicles at the Reynolds-Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin.
Built in 1973 and operated by Terry Capp of St. Albert, Alta., and Bernie Fedderly of Edmonton, the car competed directly against some of the biggest names in international drag racing.
Wheeler Dealer also helped establish the careers of Capp and Fedderly, who are now members of the Canadian Motorsports and Canadian Drag Racing Hall of Fame.
