History Drag cars in motion.......picture thread.

hell yeah dave we would love to see them!

 

RooMan - That unicycle is the absolute limit. I've seen it all now...

 

Can anyone please provide more photos of this coupe? It would be deeply apreciated. Skip

 

Thanks Rooman I have never forgotten that unicycle I thought it was the best laugh ever, Good Stuff.

 

Here's a shot of "The Greek" Chris Karamesines' Chizler at Atco, NJ in the summer of '63. In my opinion the last year that fuel dragsters had sex appeal ... before zoomie headers and there was still great variety in car design.
The "Night Train" '62 Chevy 409 in the background. Anyone have any information on that Impala?
My apologies for the poor exposure.
