Features pics East coast hot rods

This car belonged to my friend Danny Puccio.It started as a 1928 Model A sedan built by George Ryan of Auberndale ,Mass. with a 1956 322 Buick Nailhead,sold to Paul Emery then got a bigger nailhead,then Dan installed this stroked Hemi.Car was ferocious,Dan said it was the fastest car he ever owned.Guys would take a ride in this car, but did not a second one. I bought the original 322 motor for my Model A roadster.Car was originally featured in Hot Rod magazine, Nov. 1964-Letters to the editor section.For more pics of this car to see the changes, type in search box- George Ryan, Auburndale, Mass. Model A bucket.

 

if i remember it right [1980], it was dark green. i thought it had full leather straps that went over the hood to hold it down. do you have recent photos of it restored?

 

Don't know if I posted this before but here is Dan's car at New England Dragway(I think).Not sure what year.Sorry for the small pic;they got screwed up when my computer crashed.

 

Thanks for the tip, I will search that later.

I'm sorry I meant the hemi powered model A

 

Yes, it's the same car before the Hemi. This is the first I've seen with the Hemi.

 

Are you sure? They look like two different years.

 

The Bill Shultz when it was on display at the Saratoga Auto Museum-

 

heres a shot of a 32 that i owned some years ago. it was a boston area rod since the 50's

 

this is my 32 that was in a barn in the next town over for over 35 years. it dates back to the 50's in New England

 

Thanks for all your pictures Tommy. HH.

 

x2, good stuff

 

X 3. Love these old pics. And thanks for the call on the 1954 COE this morning. Have a friend of mine who has been looking who stopped by this morning just checking in and he is going out to check this one out today. Looks like a nice ,solid truck.
Timing is everything.

 

This looks like the same car.Picture was taken at the North Shore Old Car Club picnic in Newburyport MA around 1969.

 

My friend Johns 34, He built it in the late 50s and still owns it.

 

Got that Be Bop a Lula Gene Vincent vibe going on in 1957

 

Pics of the Kelly coupe, then and now.

 

this was Mickey Fearon's coupe circa "53"

 

Jack Hartney in his 32 at Orange, mass. drags

 

the famous Fran Bannister roadster, I unearthed it 10 years ago and sold it to Larry Hook who has done a remarkable job restoring it. i believe he has been invited to show it at pebble beach this year

 

Another old Cam Snapper hot rod

 

Great ROD and Great photos THANK S

 

My Delivery Built EARLY 60s DA EAST COAST Just close your eyes if it doesn't fit here. ha ha But SORRY. It was an Ambulance when new . was white with green crosses then multiple uses until junked in a junk yard in the 50s built as a ROD in early 60s had a Olds in it then. I got in 79, did a rebuild . Named her EGGS AND THINGS . Next rebuild in 99. Always a VA. car . EAST IS SWEET AND STREET IS NEAT ! This is my favorite thread on the hanb. why I posted here hope she fits.

 

One more. Now with WWW and slicks A Survivor ROD just never parked in a barn or forgotten about. But a street SURVIVOR and east coast Rod, that has spent most of Its Life as a 60s style HOT ROD. Had a Halibrand v8 quick change with Ford housings and old chrome backing plates I changed the center to a winters, but tried to maintained ITs 60s style . junkyard parts ,. Inside and out. everyone on the EAST did not stick to the same style . But it was always a 60s ROD. Also had a lace paint job when got her .

 

Very cool! Not too crazy on those rear fenders, but a pretty ingenious way of doing the exhaust. Any idea when this was originally built?
