Am I looking at this wrong? I can’t see a steering wheel on the left side of the car. And there seems to be a seat in the center or on the right based on what I can see through the rear window. The printing on the stickers is correct so it isn’t a reversed image.
@Speedster i think it’s center steer and he’s sitting way back, just a funny angle. I will point out that theres probably a good chance the car ran a hood, that paired with this colored photo may be throwing off your photo based search. maybe try it in black and white? If you look at the back tire and wheel you can see a certain tone of grey has been turned red which is making the grill red also. So I would say the car wasn’t even green. If were to guess it’s a lighter blue with a dark grey almost black frame and a stock grill
I would bet that this is an old black and white photo someone added color to, I have been seeing that a lot lately on Reddit and the like. There is even colorized versions of old video footage recorded at the dawn of the 20th century, that has popped up on here from time to time. It makes all of the textures in the photo look very uncanny valley.
Man - that looks a lot like the Trackers Club car. My friend Cal Roberts was a member in the early 60s:
I am pretty sure it is the same car with some bad colorization. There are a few more photos of the club cars on this link: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/early-drag-racing-photos.1222399/page-10
Bad to the bone for sure. That 3 to 5 window debate in my head is continuous. It also looks like a rear wheel change between the photos?
