    Ebert,
    Thanks so much for effort in sharing these photos.
    They are so timely, the cars, the people, how they dressed, the backgrounds.
    Thanks again. Slim

    Now this is exactly why I joined the HAMB. You haven't disappointed me. My dad is still with us and turns 90 this month. When I bought my 40 coupe in 1965, dad told me I would never get my $100 out of her. Still have her and planning on proving him wrong. And yes I do have a tear in my eye over these photos. Thanks!

    Awesome!! It's great to see all the history in this state! Great shots! I was looking at this shot \/\/\/\/\/ and was just thinking how crazy this this must have sounded down the strip with just the cast exhaust. You can tell it was a blast!!!!!

    Just found this in Dad's scrapbook....a feature on my uncle's rail from Car Craft in 1966....my uncle Jack was a former pit crew member for K. S. Pittman along with my other uncle, Jerry, who passed away last month. I have a helluva story about this car....my uncle brought it back from CA when he moved back to Muncie and did a "warmup" on a gravel road....DUMBASS!!!! I just confirmed the details with my uncle Jack when I saw him at Uncle Jerry's funeral......unbelievable!!!! This chassis was built my Big Daddy.......I remember sitting in this beautiful car as a kid!
