1957

Hello,

Popping up in an old version of the weekly Drag News was a surprising adverti*****t from one of the most recognized names in drag racing history. Howard Johansen and Howard’s Cams are two names that we see in a lot old photos with the cool decal.

But, it was this adverti*****t of his own 1955 Chevy Sedan that he kept winning those early drag races at the newly opened Lion’s Dragstrip. He did race at the old Santa Ana Dragstrip, but was usually found at Lion’s Dragstrip when that place opened in 1955 and the Santa Ana Drags closed in 1959. A traditional daily driver set up for the Gas Coupe and Sedan Cl*** racing.

So, who else was racing at the time that we have all come to know in their later years?

Eddie Thompson/Junior Thompson in another 55 Chevy sedan.

In 1957 at Lion's Dragstrip:


Also, two guys from Bixby Knolls opened a shop called Speed Engineering during 1958 in the Westside of Long Beach. (a few blocks from our own Westside home.)

Ronnie LeGrand in a 1955 Chevy and his business partner/friend, Tom McEwen in a 1956 Chevy. The adverti*****t says so… that they have the Home of the “World’s Fastest “D” Gas Coupe/Sedan Chevy…”

Tom McEwen Marauders Long Beach 56 Chevy D/Gas Winner 1957

and… Butch Taylor, a record setting 56 Chevy sedan in G/Stock

 

The top picture from the rear shows the best view of the car, absolutely gorgeous.

 

Parked by me at the show yesterday. It's a small block/4 speed car.
