Hot Rods Hotrods with Fixed Rear Fenders & Cycle/Cycle Style Fronts

Carlsbad Oilers Quint Meland

Hello,


The original Dragmaster Group from Carlsbad,CA was a formidable team. Their race car chassis was one of the best designed versions and after the initial set up and record setting results, the word spread all over the USA.

Ever since we saw the original Dragmaster Potvin style supercharged SBC FED At Lion's Dragstrip in 58-59 season, we have enjoyed the Gold color for all of their race cars. Gold with white lettering and highlights.

But, we missed the early twin FED versions and this club street roadster. The style and color just said Dragmaster and was a popular club car built by Quint Meland.

It is not a full fender street roadster, but qualifies as per fender over tires requirements.


“Quint Meland's 1931 Ford Model A Roadster of Oceanside, California. Quint bought the basic car, without an engine in 1956. After spending countless hours in school auto shop and at his father's gas station the roadster was finally ready for its first trip to the Paradise Mesa Drag Strip in 1957.”

“In 1958, Quint was asked to join the Carlsbad Oilers Car Club and the Dragmaster Racing Team. He owned the car from 1956 to 1961, and he only lost two races with it.”


A few more from the larger “gold” Dragmaster stable from Carlsbad, CA

But, what would have happened if the motor were a little more powerful, like say, an additional larger cubic inch build, plus a 671 supercharger/Hilborn Injectors? Still street legal as per Street Roadster Class Rules, but a little faster and intimidating… YRMV

 

Happy New Year @rat bastad...never tire of seeing your Roadster...Hope you and your Friends missed that terrible weather a few days ago...

Gold Rocks on Hotrods and Customs...That roadster sports an unusual front and Bobbed Fender on the back...and they sure didn't hurt the wins...what would a bigger motor have done? Maybe it would have gave a clean sweep with no losses...heck losing only 2 was pretty incredible...

Happy New Year @jnaki...and thanks for sharing the good times always...

@AVater's Awesome Special...pretty rare to see these Hotrodded along with the Sport Coupes due to their unique Roof Treatments but they make really nice rides and hold their own looking pretty smart doing it if you give them a chance...Glad he did. @ct1932ford captured the backside of Av8tor's Coupe showing the Special Vinyl Roof Treatment...It like the Sport Coupe had some fancy woodwork in the Roof sections...

That still laying around?

 

No it has moved on.
