Any folks out there can give some history of the ch***is builds of **** Williams in the 1950s I know of the famous Oakland Show car 1927 Roadster that Blackie Gejeian clamed the first tube ch***is show car. Was there any other builds by him? Some history of the man himself would also be very helpful. Thank you Skip
Mark @Royalshifter Skipper - Other than the 1953 AMBR '27 T Roadster (with the 2 1/2" chrome-moly steel tube ch***is do***ented in my "Bringing the **** Williams '27 Roadster Back to 1953" thread), I'm not aware of any other tube ch***is cars that **** Williams (of Berkeley, CA ... not Poli-Form Fibergl*** **** Williams of Santa Cruz, CA) may have built or fabricated in the 1950s. - Todd @HEMI32 Olson
He seems to have been a ch***is builder from me seeing the article of his roadster possibly race cars?
@Royalshifter - I don't think so . . . I believe he was just 18 or 19 years old when he started building the '53 AMBR. **** Falk (the owner of the '53 AMBR in the '70s) knew **** Williams well (cuz he dated Falk's sister) . . . **** is still alive (he & his wife June still live here in the Bay Area) . . . I'll try to contact Mr. Falk to see if Williams built other tube ch***is (street or racing) cars . . . stay tuned! - @HEMI32
This thread reminded me of some photos 'Farmer' posted 15+ years ago. These were taken at Bonneville in 1951 will try and find the thread. 1951 Williams T before AMBR win, much of the key elements are there, does not have the Kinmont brakes yet.
@Jimmy B - I included those same three (3) photos from the 1951 Bonneville Nats in my thread ... giving credit to @Farmer's "Vintage Hotrod pics....you asked for more so here you go! Enjoy-" thread. - @HEMI32
I don't keep track who posts what where, just where I seen them posted first, as in this case Thank you for the link
