    Because I'm from the east coast, when I first saw the Warren & Coburn "Rain For Rent" T/F car, I had no idea what it meant. It wasn't until I spent time out west, that I found out.

    I remember this car. Cragar must have given a deal on their rims if car owners put the Cragar logo on the rocker area of cars.

    Fkn car was crazy. There's a 20min documentary on youtube about all the crazy shit they tried to make that car run, including a "floating" motor in a subframe. Wild times with lots of ideas and constant innovation. That's what makes the history so interesting.

    @buickfunnycar.com Thx for the background. I've known of this car for years due to my infatuation with the early blown nitro doorslammers but I never knew this was one of the hustler cars.
