@scotty t - Looks like your dad smoked a pipe. Ah, the smell. Dad had a few, it was a ''classy'' thing to do.

That’s Moms brother but Dad smoked a pipe too.

 

Like the Duesy too Scott.

 

That guy has quite the collection from hamb cars to cars like your grandfather collected

 

Here are two that are very close to my heart!

B.J. (Joe) Thompson & Don Williams (Good Grief) are both decades long close friends of mine. We lost Joe back around the 1st of October @ 83 years young & was still racing this car up to the very end!. Don is 75 or so & still racing (now with a different car)

Pictures are from the mid 70's. Right after Bill Bader took over Norwalk Raceway Park, he set up match races between area big guys. Ironically we also lost Bill this year! Joe actually lost his engine in the match race between them, but still came back with the huge smile on his face that defined him as a person!

God Bless
Bill

My POS.

 

how about some more pics and back story?

 

Is that a 61or a 62? I see 62 rocker trim and side cove "vent" molding and it looks like 61 cove molding.
