Yep!!!-------Attending Inglewood Hi. from 1946 to 1950, we always looked forward to Monday to find out just who went the fastest at the lakes!-----Bob Pierson in his '36 3wnd coupe or maybe Joe Torvick in his '40 coupe.
Never met Andy but he most definitely left a large mark on this hot rod deal of ours. RIP Andy Brizio.
This is what comes to mind when I think cl***ic 50's hot rod! These guys look like a couple of bad ***es that you wouldn't want to mess with! The car & these guys fit the 50's image perfectly!
