Joe B. Sheppard's 1932 Ford Roadster of Tampa, Florida. Sheppard's journey into the world of racing began in Tampa, where his family operated Sheppard Import Motors on Howard Avenue. The business, which specialized in import cars, provided a nurturing ground for his burgeoning interest in automobiles. Joe's racing career was sparked by a pivotal road trip in the roadster which he undertook with a high school classmate in 1947. This trip, which stretched from Tampa to California and back, included memorable stops in Southern California, San Francisco, and the Bonneville Salt Flats. Known for its Ardun conversion and two-speed Zephyr rear, this vehicle not only fueled his passion for racing but also marked the beginning of his journey as the "Tampa Hot Shoe."
