Vintage shots from days gone by!

A few years back a Coupe body with a chop like this showed up at the Turlock swapmeet. I wonder?

 

Does anyone know the identity of the T-Bird, fourth car in?

 

I was wondering the same thing.

 

US 131 MARTIN DRAG WAY about 1966-67
NOTE: Tower is on the East side of the track

 

Here it is. Owned at the time by Jim Augustine of San Jose, built by Joe Bailon according to Kustomrama.

I think I saw this car on the street in Napa around 1962, not looking too good. The paint was faded and badly cracked.

 

Thanks frog. Thats one car, painted as the original color was not preferred.

How do I post pics to show like you did?

 

Pretty curious about the RPU at the front. It has the general look I plan for mine. Anyone have more pics?

 

Oops, forgot the quote

 

Very pleased to see the recent up surge in activity on this thread, especially those contributions from Rootie and Gary Reynolds. Good stuff guys, thanks.

 

^^^^ What he said, great work, Guys.

 

Gary Renolds - Those pictures don't lie - That is the way they were

 

Glad you like 'em guys. It's just stuff from the web I ran across.Sometimes I think every pic that could be posted already has been, i never get enough! I think there are thousands more out there in shoeboxes, trunks and drawers just waiting to see the light of day. Scan 'em and post 'em guys, before they are gone forever!

 

From some of Albert Drakes books, well worth purchasing.
I think Albert was on the HAMB, don't know where he went.Marty Strode would know,MARTY?
