You are correct

The late great Islip Speedway.

 

San Francisco 1948

On the right, tail end of the Corvair Monza SS concept car. This body was replicated as a go-kart and used as an amusement ride, too.

 

i believe there were aftermarket kits you could get to convert the old cars into tractors. we have an antique tractor show in town every year and there are a few of them still around where they put the old steel wheels on the back. in those days a farmer needed a tractor more than he needed a car and cars were cheaper.

i'm sure sometime in the future someone going to be wondering why we didn't take better care of all those "cool" K cars they built?

I'm thinking it is Shelley Fabares from the movie Spinout, 1966.

 

Her name is Terry Bagley - a student at Shelby's driving school 1962


Both Cobras in Spinout are 427's
