York US 30 Drag O Way

Here are a few pictures... I'm guessing late 50's early 60's. Please disregard the file names, I can see they are not correct.

Can anyone put a year and make to the vehicles?

 

Of course the coupe is a '32 Ford, but the roadster is a strange one. It looks like it has '26-'27 windshield posts, but the p***enger compartment is too long for a '27 and the deck is too short. The builder may have moved the panel behind the seat back allowing for additional jump seats or storage. With the deep channel, the trunk was almost useless.

 

Thanks for the info Rick, want to take a crack at what is powering the coupe?

 

Joe, there was a similar '32 coupe from Jonestown, blue with 331 hemi and 2 fours, channeled about the same. I can't see the intake on your pic. Do you know the owners?

 

Very cool pics! I love the coupe. Looking at that hood bulge it might be running 4 deuces. It looks like it's sporting chrome garnih mouldings too. The roadster looks to me like it might have been a coupe.

 

The coupe was my dads, I still see it occasionaly at shows. I have no idea who owned the roadster.

 

That coupe is ***s!! Any specs on it?

 

I used to work at the drag strip in the sixties. Raced there too. Jimmy Davis had a blue '32 coupe that ran b/gas called "Automation" that was a true show and go machine. Wish I had a picture to show.

 

Very mouldy oldie thread ,but since nobody ever said it...331/354/392 hemi power. I've always thought the Jim Davis '32 cpe was a 3 window? I too remember the '32 fiver from Jonestown Pa, it was a very cool one!
