Looks like that job was real tough on the back!

 

Oh Lloyd! You didn't.

Naw. a buddy of mine. Had a very strong Y-Block out of a sprint car. He stayed in the car and got one little scratch on his head ... lol

 

(Referring to post #21455)

That's a "coupe-pickup"...this Chevy is from 1940:

 

Rocket Car

 

Sachs-McDonald crash Indy 64.

 

I was there that year and got to see this crash and it was just as bad as the picture show's. It was my first Indy.

 

all day and all night

 

Found elsewhwere on the HAMB looking for something else...

 

Hmmm. More evidence against the naysayers that say there were no fuzzy dice back in the day. LOL
V/8

 

Well this ought to put a "hitch in there get along" as well,... this picture was taken in 1956,... And by the way, I have a NOS pair of western auto "Giant fuzzy dice" still in the cellophane wrapper, dated 1955,.... No kidding.


If you look really hard,. you can see them on top of the coil box upper left of the show case,...

 

Yup, I even stayed at the Normandie and the Frontenac this past June. Way cool!

 

That is one butt ugly COE! Also, what's with the padding on the fenders of the T-Birds right above the rear wheel wells? Something to protect the paint when installing or removing the hardtop maybe?

 

Pit crew.

 

What kind of truck is that COE? Looks like a modified 48-52 Ford Cab.
V/8

 

That was the prohibition era, if that was wiskey in that bottle it sure wasn't legal but I don't think the G men were climbing up to nail an ironworker for illegal hooch.

 

That might be a factory installed bed, Chevrolet built cars like that, some also had fifth wheel hitches in the "Trunk area" and pulled gooseneck trailers.
