Dads 32 3W Coupe Drag Racer

A friend of Dad's dragster at Samoa. I don't have any details on the car really, just a picture from Dad's collection.

 

I like the reversed F-1 front upper shock mounts. Different and a cool look.

 

Here are a couple more pictures of the coupe that we found.

 

Yes, that was the hot set-up back then. Thanks.

 

I wondered why I loved to ride, then my dad showed me grandpa from Germany. Dad rode too!

 

Yep, it's in the DNA!

 

great thread and a bad ass coupe

 

That car is awesome.....sits pretty high for a channeled car, must have a lot of spring in it...I like it!!

 

Wow that is so great to see. Tell your father thanks 1,000 times over! Love that time period!

 

Thats awesome & thanks for sharing...I need to scan some of my dads photos too...One of my favorites is my dad as a kid in front of my grandpas 40 merc....Thanks for sharing!!

 

Irish. To cool. thanks TONS. Those are priceless. I totally dig the last shot of the parking lot. Check out all those different cars. Corvette, Bug Eyed Sprite. Willys. El Camino etc. WOW.

 

The Hot Rod scene was going strong back then in Arcata and Eureka. Thanks Slim.

Glad you like them, my pleasure. Get your dads on here too. I'll get my mom or dad to scan some more sometime. BTW my mom is the one who took all the photos. The guy with my dad at the races is my uncle Tom.

WhiteDevil: Glad you like! I like this time period also as I came along in 1962.

 

that car was the shit back in the day,thanks for sharing.....richie......

 

I know you say it isn't possible, but I am absolutely positive I have seen the #2 pic before, the one with the 2 guys next to the front of the car...
Damn cool car...
