Road Racing Bar/Restaurant.....Chanticleer or ??

I read long ago about this restaurant, owned/run by a former road racer(Rene' Dreyfus?), but can't figure out if it still exists.....anybody know?

I know this is a long time for a reply but I was googling for information about this restaurant. I'm quite sure it's long gone, but I remember going there on a 1971 visit to NYC with my family. My dad was a WWII vet who knew Dreyfus from the war. I've long wondered what became of him and the restaurant.
