Gaston Chevrolet posed in his Monroe #4, designed by his older brother Louis, on an unidentified brick track, circa 1920. Chevrolet and his Monroe had won the prestigious Memorial Day Indianapolis 500 and was favored in the July 5th Tacoma race. However, he finished a disappointing seventh. 1920 was the last year that Gaston raced, he was killed in a crash at the Beverly Hills Speedway in November of 1920. The crash also convinced his brother Louis to retire from racing. Gaston was posthumously awarded the 1920 National Championship. (TDL 7/4/1920, pg. 1-C) Speedway 045
