VINTAGE SHOTS FROM DAYS GONE BY! (Part 2)

I remember! I drove my Tee-Bird up to the 66 station to have it lubed. In and out in 15 minutes. My mom asked where I’d been.

 

Long before it was known as the Winged Express of Marcellus & Borsch that red Altered was the Harrell & Borsch car shown here in 1961. The frame was made of muffler moly and the big Hemi ran on gas at that time.

most unusual... I think you'll agree. A Rolls Royce woody school bus served in Kenya to bus kids to soccer and cricket mateches, was built for a Maharajah as a regular Silver Ghost, but commandeered by the British Govt and built as an armored car for WW1 ended up used to drive HRH Princess Margaret to an agricultural show . Solidly in first place for "reality is bizarre" trophy

 

Von Dutch c.1960

 

Loved the speedo with the big red circle around the number..

 

Funny to be a pedal car called a tee-bird with a 59 Pontiac grille and hood vee. . .

 

Above, the Odd Couple slingshot, the front engine is a Chev, and the rear is the 3rd hemi to hang in the back of the AA/gas dragster. The Chev never broke in the 2 years that 3 hemis ate d

 

Good info, thanks for spotting that.
I remember reading that Willie worked in a mufler shop (in Torrance), hence the use of muffler moly for that frame.

 

Keep your bullet in your pocket Barney!

 

My Grandfather & his CO, Schmidt’s Jeep Germany 1945.
