    OK - What is this? My first thought was custom T-bird but the wheelbase looks a little long

    Those fussy Canadian models. But the '59 Dodge front with a '59 Plymouth rear might make for an interesting project today. A real double-take.

    Any idea what the story is behind this photo? Where? When? Why? Looks like they are all dressed alike.

    There's an interesting story behind this brave fellow.

    [​IMG]

    He was born William Robert Bellenie, in Newington, Surrey, England, in 1869. Around 1900, he adopted the name William Bellenie-Walker, eventually dropping the Bellenie part to be known as Walker.

    In 1887, he began diver training at Portsmouth Dockyard. He worked through the roles of diver's attendant and diver's signal man, passing his medical exam and deep-water test to qualify as a deep-water diver in 1892.[1]

    In his time, William Walker was the most experienced diver of Siebe Gorman Ltd. In 1906–1911, working in water up to a depth of six metres (20 feet), he shored up Winchester Cathedral, using more than 25,000 bags of concrete, 115,000 concrete blocks, and 900,000 bricks.

    Before his work, the cathedral had been in imminent danger of collapse as it sank slowly into the ground, which consisted of peat. To enable bricklayers to build supporting walls, the groundwater level had to be lowered. Normally, the removal of the groundwater would have caused the collapse of the building. So, to give temporary support to the foundation walls, some 235 pits were dug along the southern and eastern sides of the building, each about six metres deep. Walker went down and shored up the walls by putting concrete underneath them. He worked six hours a day—in complete darkness, because the sediment suspended in the water was impenetrable to light.

    After Walker finished his work, the groundwater was pumped out and the concrete he had placed bore the foundation walls. Conventional bricklayers then were able to do their work in the usual way and restore the damaged walls.

    During the latter part of his time working at Winchester, Walker cycled home, 70 miles to South Norwood, at weekends returning by train on the Monday.[2]

    To celebrate the completion of the work, a thanksgiving service, led by the Archbishop of Canterbury, was held on July 15, 1912. At this, Walker was presented with a silver rose bowl by King George V. Newspaper reports at the time remarked that this was the second time Walker had met George V, the first being when the king was a naval cadet and Walker was his diving instructor.

    This is what our Fords should have looked like.

    Of the '53-'55 Corvettes, only '54 came in black. There's supposed to have only been 8 made, so there's half the production. I don't believe that, because I know for sure of two that were black when new and I don't get around THAT much.

    March 17, 1954, when 28 Chevrolet dealers in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, California, attended a GM training session, then paraded the Red, White, and Black '54 Corvettes onto a freeway to garner attention. Interesting to note is this: According to Mike Antonick of "The Corvette Black Book," only four black '54 Corvettes are known to have been produced, and all four of them are in this photo!
