Well I guess that confirms Studebaker was always ahead of their time.

DADDY...IZAT YOU???

 

Along with the 49 Ford changing lanes..

Hey, enough about trees already... The photos are about the trucks..

 

Love these double Ds....Dagmar and Dupont....

 

This is Thompson , Ct. pre war

 

Charlie Haviland?

 

Dodger, you're usually spot on. But that's a Packard and a Dupont.

 

Looks like it might be a trophy dash, Bob Sall on the pole, Frank McGurk on the outside Hank Rogers on the inside, Bill Holland in the 29.

 

Way to go, Rootie, I love the right coast pictures. We all know Bill Holland won indy in 1949 and I think both Sall and McGurk made the race and was Hank Rogers a non- qualifier ? A real nice shot of some great drivers!

 

My all time favorite and like a second father to me Rosy Joe Sostilio

 

New England favorite "MEATBALL" Orlando, He got that nickname because he would bring a huge bowl of pasta & meatballs when he got to the race so all the drivers could share some before the races.

 

Another real character from the golden days of the midgets in New England "C annon Ball' Ridlon
