Man, I love hearing about weird and cool stuff that I've never heard of before, thank you!

 

another cool story. remember that car in the magazines long ago. Love the ingenuity and style.

 

@porkn****** owned a landspeed crosley not that different from the one you shared. Ran a big flathead caddy at one point it in. Was fun looking at the old work and digging for photos as it supposedly ran on the salt around 49/50 such a crazy car to build into a race car

 

Just 'cuz a TJJ Blog or a H.A.M.B. thread can never have too many photos:

* @Jive-Bomber - Just an FYI that VIC HUBBARD Speed & Marine was founded (circa 1949) by Jerry Light on Meekland Ave. in Hayward . . . and Jerry named his business after his step-father, Victor Hubbard​
