History Bonneville & Dry Lakes Historical Pics from the Lindsley Family, Take 2

I have received a new batch of photos from Gary Lindsley, son of Bonneville legend Jim Lindsley. There will be less story this time, as most of these are a collection of non family cars that the family saved from their years on the salt and dry lakes. Jim was close friends with Wally Parks, so many of the prints I scanned have edit marks for publication in Hot Rod Magazine, SCTA programs, etc. I have done reverse image look ups on many, and it looks like some made it into publication in the 50's, some ended up on Pat Ganahl's blogs, but many may never have been seen before. I'm just going to throw them up, and comment where I know something or info was written on the back. Once again, can use the help of the historians who helped a few months back - @Jimmy B @296ardun @lurker mick @Stogy and anyone else. Enjoy.

The first few are pics for a 1952 Argosy Magazine article about the 51 Bonneville Nationals....

Arnold Birner

 

Bill Burke

 

Bill Kenz. 230 MPH in 1951!

 

Bud Hare

 

Woodrow Jansen

 

First low rider? Clever.

 

I really dig this shot.

 

1951 group shot

 

Last one from Argosy, not sure who this is....

 

Some shots I think were taken by the Lindsleys from the 1956 Bonneville Nationals. This first one of a street roadster on the salt is beautiful.

 

Body is 1922-25 Dodge Brothers, frame & front fenders look to be 1931 Ford

 

Kenz 777 Streamliner

 

The Dodge roadster was owned by Bill & Carol Harrison, not sure where they were from, Oregon or Washington, perhaps.

Woody Lee's T roadster.

This is Herman Felts T roadster and that is his wife, I want to say her name was Marlene, I will have to find the HRM with the info.


Herman T looks very similar to Don Waite's

 

Very cool photos! Thanks.

 

This looks familiar, but can't place it.

 

Moving on to some small photos in the batch, some I think family shot, some given to Jim. Don't have much info, but some cool pics here.

 

Love that lineup, I wonder how many times the Neikamp roadster ran the salt. Did they require a number on both sides? I found this shot.

 

Another of the #29 Tanker
