you’re either too young or too old for.”

Oh Wilburrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

Someone musta told him that looooooooong primaries helps bottom end, and making them all teh same length is good too.
He then thought to himself....................................
I can do that!!!!!
And this was the result.

Merry Christmas to all HAMBers.
Cheers.

 

I've seen these Life magazine pictures before but never noticed this car appears to have a completely filled axle! Wild stuff, never seen it done before. JohnnyA

Yeah, and everyone had easier access to psychotropic drugs ............ it didn't mean they had to use them!!!!!
Hahaha.

Merry Christmas all.

 

Stop posting! I have other things to do today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Not to nit pic, but I think those were psychedelic drugs then.
Psychotropics are what they have to take now because of them.

I wonder why those guys are kicking at that 56 Merc? Looks like some sort of riot situation.

 

Damn Tom, you win.
Thanks for playin'

 

Peace on Earth, fellow HAMB brothers & sisters.

Vintage or just timeless? Honestly, don't know. Thanks to Frankie47,
for locating this exquisite winter photo. It seemingly shows that something
beautiful can come, even out of a sad junkyard tableaux of our beloved
vintage tin, in the eternal embrace of Mother Nature. Somehow, perfect for
Christmas for people who dig cars, trucks and customs, often built out of
junked cars and parts! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

 

Yes, it is Riverside. SCTA 1/2 mile drags, 1961. That is the Brisette Brothers Bantam bodied roadster just ahead of my RPU. It was a good for Dad and me both. It was dark and cloudy in the morning, but the sun finally came out in the afternoon.

The fourth shot in the OP is a '50s GM dream car, I think it was called the "Club de Mer". Either it's a lot smaller than it looked in unoccupied pics, or that's one BIG model sitting in it!
