    Gentlemen,
    Would someone be able to tell me which months of HRM had the McMullen 32 roadster? To be specific I’m looking for ch***is pics of when it still had the Ford trans....if those even exist. Thanks in advance

    Scott

    Also, the August and September, '64 issues of "Popular Hot Rodding" had some extensive in-the-day photos of the car.

    Wow! Ron, could you start a thread with your pics? Maybe add a few at a time just to tease us. Any or all would be greatly appreciated, Carp.

    Thank you Ron! What a neat car! I can only imagine what kind of quality it was back in the early 60’s!
    John Milner would have definitely had a hard time beating this one. [emoji3]

    My copy of Hotrod April 1963 arrived in the mail. 151 mph at the dry lakes and 11.59 with a 127 mph at the drags is pretty darn impressive! And through a Ford 3spd even!
    It is funny how the article refers to the roadster as “traditional!”
