Features Real 50's Hot Rods

Here is a roadster my dad and some of his buds built...................circa '59/'60.

 

Then they progressed to this around '63/'64: I would give my left nut, to find this car. Went to Iowa, or Ohio back in the early 70's.

 

Awesome pics, I would love to see more

 

Still tucked away in this same condition today. Owner was a friend of Ed Roth. Roth striped the car.

 

More great pics. Thanx for posting guys.

 

All this fun and a ticket too ?

 

Kinda busts a few notions about '50s Hot Rods. Very kool pix folks. Cheers, Koops.....

 

......I'll second that motion!!! Great stuff!!!

 

Just found an early pic of this car. It is now back up on top of the frame and looking very nice again. The oupe was owned by George Beaumont back then.

 

Wow! Quality sucks. Is there a way of reducing the num ber of MB without resizing the pic so much?

 

Where's your webpage?

 

Harms Way, that pic is the greatest thing I've ever seen. Is that a family thumb? Or is it something found on the net?

 

Great photos

 

It got cancelled do to inadtivity. Guess I may need to actually pay for some space.

 

Awsome cool pics, thanks

 

Great to take another look tonight, glad the pictures are still here after 2+ years.

 

yeah, thanks for bringing it btt.......much better than some of the drama threads........tech week seems to come and go so quickly....kind of like Christmas....

btw, what determines whether or not some old pics stay or disappear....not the links but when they are actually uploaded to the board?

 

great pics

 

Wow! Just did a search and found this old thread. I was surprised to see it still here. Here's some art that Jeff Norwell did using some of these photos, for our shirts at this year's Windsor Ontario Show. I'm trying to get some more shirts made and need a few more orders to make it worth while, so if anyone wants one please pm me. It would be cool to see some more old HotRod and race car pics - show'em if ya gotem.

 

What is your web page?

 

I realize Im way late on this one, but thanks for the windsor history , Great stuff. Heard my Dad mention a few of these names. Makes me proud of my hometown. Awesome!

 

anymore pictures????

 

Here's another pic of the "6 in a row, watch it go", plus a few more from Cayuga, to add to this great old thread.

 

there has to be more 50's hot rods!! or new builds that look 50's
put some pictures up, lets keep this thread going!!

 

Here is a early 50`s drag racer that was turned into a street machine in the late 50`s..and is now in one of my garages awaiting so much needed...$..!

 

Thanks for pulling this back..Gives every one a dose of reality. That is the way it was.

 

Had a little trouble trying to repost on this topic. I thought it might be time to bring it back up to the top. I met with a group of old hot rodders for lunch yesterday and finally got a bunch of pics I'd been trying to get for years. These guys were the "El Dragos" from the Windsor/LaSalle Ontario area and had some terrific hot rods back in the mid 50s to mid 60s. I'll post a few at a time - enjoy! Hope this brings out some additional photos from back in that era.

 

Here's a few more
