Neat pix. Thanx guys. Also, please note Radir wheel fans, how many of these race cars didn't have WWW slicks and Radirs. Never remember seeing many at the strips on real race cars when I was young. Gary

 

Great pics thanks! Anyone have any info on the roadster p.u, on the right? Lippy

Yep, can't wait to see more of them posted. These cars and the altereds are my favorite old style drag cars. Then the gassers, of course. Gary

 

Kev,
saw this one in the flesh (metal?) at the 50th GN Roadster Show in the Cow Palace. It had just come out of a long hibernation. One of my favorite hot rods of all time.

This is a great thread! Lots of great cars. Heres a link to one that I've always liked.

Back in the '60s there were two roadsters that I've been unable to find pictures of. First was the Malfunction A/SR '32, black lacquer, with a 4-speed and a 409 chevy. Ran mostly at Lions and was quite a wheel stander. And the white C&W Motor Parts, out of Pomona, B/SR '29 with a SBC and 4-speed. Both were great cars but looks like no shots available of either. C&W also ran a '41 Willy's in B/Gas that they retired to build the roadster. Would really like to see pictures of either car. The FOGGER
