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

Howdy, hope everyone is well. Found these digging around Dad's garage the other day. I was born in '60' so I have zero info on these Rods. Just Enjoy. - Smoke.

Door # 3...

 

Door Slammer for #4...

 

That one is awesome.

 

If this shot is not classic ( hot-dog wrappers & all) I do not know what is...

 

Definately legs under the rearend dragster.

 

Well, this reminds me of the Triangular model car most of us
glued together when we were young. (Green. p-chute).
Thanks for the company. Good Night & Have a Pleasent Tomorrow -Smoke.

 

Cool pics...what the hell is that car in the background??????

 

Does anyone know what this is?

 

A Dodge DART or course! : - )

 

From the shape of the rear of the side quarter window, and the curve at the bottom of the door, I'm saying it started out as a Henry-J.
How it's running as a B/Gasser and not an altered is another question.

 

A few more from earlier times.

 

Hey 53Olds! WHERE did you find that avatar picture? I think that's the Toohey's Auto Parts Gasser from Louisville, Kentucky!!! I've only seen that car one time and it was in a tiny scrap yard on Dixie Hiway in '82. That has got to be the car in your photo. It was a blue '53 Ford post with a fiberglass '55 chev tilt front end. Cragars too.

When I saw that car it had junk piled all around it and obviously hadn't been run for years. I was a teenager and of course tried to buy it. They had a picture of it running at Ohio Valley raceway hanging in the Toohey's off of Preston...Kooky.

 

!!?

 

nope this is a photoshopped pic of my 53 olds as a gasser, done by x426x, sorry!

 

Looks like B/C is painted on the door. Even that doesn't make any sense.
