Vintage shots from days gone by!

Dan Gurney's on the sidewalk.

John Athern. I met him a few years ago when my wife and I visited Isky's factory. We went to lunch with Ed and John and spent a fantastic couple of hours listening to them reminisce about the early days of hotrodding. John and Ed are absolute gentlemen.

 

Ya just don't see as many 64 cylinder cars as ya used'ta.

 

No, you are right.
The one in the picture apparently only had 48 cylinders. 12,000 horsepower though!

Weld wheels on the rear? Vintage from 1998 maybe.

 

looks like a late model Dodge pickup past the tree on the other side of track.

 

That's some pretty slick parking. No wonder one of those vehicles is missing the grill shell.

 

I believe the shot above is on Van Dyke Ave in Detroit, Ver Hoven Chevrolet.

 

Coleman, TX
