Man, IF I could get ahold of that delivery or the coupe looking to the left!

 

I guess it`s gone now,,,

 

Someone was hoping someone else would make a wood structure kit for all those Chevy bodies.

 

He's not a politician unless he's got his hands in YOUR pockets!

 

What a shame, I guess there is no finding them now!

 

Hello,

This Tahitian Red, 1937 Chevy coupe has a long history, was one of the most consistent Gas Coupes in our era of drag racing at Lions Dragstrip and ruled the class throughout all of So Cal. Besides Junior Thompson's 41 Studebaker B/G sedan and Doug Cook's 37 Chevy ruled the C/Gas class. So our future was going to be daunting, but it was a challenge for a couple of teenagers in our 40 Willys build. We started in B/Gas and then rebuilt it to be more competitive in the C/Gas class.

Our path was set for competition and we were doing well. All this time, Doug Cook's Chevy went to B/Gas. In a recent 2017 conversation with Mike Cook (Doug's son), the 37 is in the garage being planned for some history.

We are very glad to have picked up some build tips scrutinizing both of those top gas class runners. These are the Doug Cook movies that I took back in the 1958-60 era and it looks as if it just happened last week. (my brother took the Lions pits movie clips...) Those memories, the smell, the consistent shifting, all made that Tahitian Red 1937 Chevy one of the top competitors in the USA.

A young teen wandering around looking for tips to create a street legal hot rod build for the Gas Coupe Classes. (film clip by James N.) No front end raised in the air look, ladder bars or individual headers, all street legal to and from the dragstrip.
