Happy 5-7 day !

 

there was a large collection in Wisconsin. The man passed away. He had my 57 Fuely and my 40 as well as my sons. Guess Rawlings bought em--he bought 28 cars I understand.

 

I have the model kit of the pace car....

 

wonder where they will go?

 

This 56 is as perfect as it gets

 

Dinah Shore?

 

Ummmm... Yup!

 

Agreed!!!!

 

No scoop though. Wonder why he felt compelled to put D/G on the window?

 

It's the trendy thing to do..
*edit - that is the only thing wrong with that fine '56.

 

Was it mandatory for a D/Gas car to have a scoop?

 

I’ve seen this one in person. Nice workmanship.

 

Nope. Neither were Moon tanks, or straight axles. Most has at least some of those things though.
Competitive 60's Gasser racers wouldn't leave much on the table. ;-)

 

Cleveland, Ohio was a hotbed for Gasser racers during the 60’s. The Rodriguez Brothers built and for many years raced this ’56 210 sedan in D/Gas. Here Jimmy Rodriguez cleans the tires as he edges towards the starting line at the NHRA Nationals. “Hut’s Dyno Shop” was Ron Hutter’s Cleveland area engine shop. Hutter’s engines became a popular, trusted source for NASCAR racers in several divisions.

 

Lest you forget, this is 2023 and everything's a gasser. Just ask this guy. Wide whites on Pro Stars....lol. I'll stop there. Remember that kid who always wanted to ride bikes or play baseball with you and your buddies, but you were always reluctant to say ok because he sucked? Well he's an adult now, and.....this car is for sale near where I live. 35 grand.

 

I liked the woodpecker decals.......for about two minutes, wide whites on racecars not nearly as long!

 

I'd hate to see what that guy's wife looks like!
It just proves that beauty is in the eye of the beer holder!
