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

Oh my goodness, did my heart stop for a minute???

 

Could be, mine still ain't going!! Unreal pics and info, thanx to all!!!-MIKE

 

The text was hard to read in that article...

I tried to upload directly to this site, instead of going through photobucket.... We'll see if it worked.

Edit - it seems to work if you click on it a total of three times, one to open, one to open in new window, then one more to zoom to full size...

 

Nice stuff, JHole. I'd never seen a picture of those cars that I can remember. What I like best about that whole era, is that the cars had character and weren't just stupid rolling billboards for major corporations. All your Dad's cars were cool, tastefull.

 

Seaport Automotive? No kidding. I spent many a dollar there that I really could not afford when I lived in Toledo. Is it still there?

O.K. I was one year old so I did not take these pics.
It must have been my Dad with one of those
Charley Chaplin Photo Shoot cameras.
So let's all go back to 1961. Spoiler Alert!
(not, 'In Motion')

Big Henry must have been pretty big.

Sorry, I was One and Dad's memory (sadly) is shot.

 

Wonderful shots...keep them coming.

 

I do remember Prout Chevrolet. I'm thinking
these are all from Dragway 42 W. Salem, Ohio.

 

"You drive the push car this time."
"No, you drive it I drove it last time."
"O.K. We'll flip for it!"

 

Different rail from the first pick, but not
by much.
