History Photo's of Deuces that didn't survive & others that probably did

Every one of these photos was stolen straight from a single thread, and I didn't include DOZENS of others that are in it:

Theres about 4" less bodywork now......man thats a little ruff around the edges Ron.

 

Just a hunch,....... Didn't make it.

 

I don't think this one made it....lady driver and all you know.

 

Any back story on this one and the old racer in the field?

 

Think what's left of this roadster will buff out? HRP

The yellow Asquith roadster had a small setback but is now Better than ever. It is a beast!

 

Found this one on a farm in nsw australia. It almost went for scrap metal!

Sent from my SM-N910G using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

 

Looks to be taken at the indoor drags in Chicago in the early 60's?

 

Charlie that pic says 1963...I just did a search and low and behold there is a thread by Hamber JohnnyCash including that pic...that is just wild the stuff that was entertainment back in the day...I know cars like that Deuce could have been had fairly cheaply then but its still a surprise to see it reduced to near demo derby stuff...

Here's mine. As found in 1979 by the guy I bought it from.

....... as I bought it with it's early 80's “restoration“ intact. OEM Mustang II front end, 6-3/4" rear and '79 Pontiac V6....... among other gems.

And now with new frame, drive train........ and attitude.

........ maybe it's been saved twice!

 

Darn Hotrod Hooligans!

Remember the hotrod, teenager related car movies of the 50s, 60s, and 70s?

That's where it a all started...

That last pic hurts to look at. Anyone want to venture a guess as to when that was taken? Seems like those cars were pretty in demand even by the early 50's, surprised to see a couple just laying out like that, looking relatively complete and clean, although maybe they're just clean by today's standards, and no telling what body style the 33/34 is.

Still though. Damn.

 

Squablow I found this yesterday in search. It is untouched as found (the photo) It looks to be a scan of a 1980ish pic. Just a guess and hey it may be someone elses clever photo manipulation or one of those nobody gets anything wrecking yard collections. Might be still as we see it yeah...damn...

 

The 32 Victoria in post #83 that's racing the Corvette was owned by Bob Dwyer of Ft Lauderdale Fl. It was a 301 with 3-2s & a 4 speed that ran 13.0s in 1958 at Amelia Earhart Dragstrip in Hialeah Fl. It raced at the first drags I ever went to @ 14 years old and was bad fast in its day. The car is presently a very nice street rod with 454 power. Bob owned & ran Precision Auto Machine and died a few years back from diabetes complications. He was a very neat guy and a good friend. The Corvette I believe was owned by the late Don Gist and was a national record holder in a stock sports class

 

I have seen that photo a number of times. Even on a thread here on the HAMB. Its an old photo, not a photoshop.

 

Your absolutely right Don. This morning I searched again to try to find out a little more on that and I did find a link to the Hamb (I am not surprised and I like to give credit where credit is due)
