1936 custom coupes. Show and go.

Bob Cantley Coupe
Don Brown Coupe
Bob Pearson Coupe

 

Thurman and Herzog coupe

 

Gordon Van coupe in 1951

 

Does anybody know anything about the heavily chopped '26/'27 Model T coupe in the background of this photo?

 

The T I believe was Jaguar powered, that photo looks like 1957-58, will look at the programs

 

Dot & Bill Milliken T coupe

 

Gene Thurman also had a similar chopped T LSR coupe.

 

Idk... Gene Winfield had a radically chopped T-coupe, that he ran for abit, although wasn't that mostly the lakes instead of salt? Don't know who got it after he was done w/it.
Marcus...

 

Thanks @Jimmy B and @Pufff
I couldn't imagine driving/squeezing into either one of those rear engine T's! They make the Chrisman brothers coupe look like a Cadillac.

 

Pretty sure Ive not seen that pic before, great looking car, although rear windows look like they were done in a hurry @Jimmy B and others do you have any more info on this?

 

Harold Casaurang Coupe, built with ***istance of Gordon Vann. Harold ran the car at Cal-Neva events as well as Bonneville, he also drag raced it. Harold was killed in a drag racing accident at Vacaville Drag Strip in 1956 when the coupe flipped.

SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS . . .

Before he leaves, get the driver to position hisself so he sees straight down the course.

When running and he's seeing the sky, he's gonna roll soon.

When running and he's seeing a lot of salt, he probably will spin.

(Or is it the other way around?)

 

Thanks mate!
