Hot Rods as they were..... In print.

Oh yes I'm back for the third & final thread in this Trilogy. Thank you to everyone for the great response to the two previous threads & to Ryan for the rad write up on the front page, I have read both entries at least 5 times each. Most importantly I want to thank Curt and his dad Bob (r.i.p) for this insight into how it truly was in the day & not some warped perception.
Cheers
Jimmy

Thanks for this thread.
Hey boys and girls,... anybody got some good picture reference of ol' Wally Parks old Ford panel he used to travel in? Specifically the panel art. The few pics I've got are small and don't give me a good Idea of the model year either. Thanks in advance

 

Great post!

 

Anyone have any info on the '49 D Cl*** entrant? Sounds VERY wicked.

 

Now this is some good stuff!!! Thanks for the post....

 

Cool.

 

Very very cool. I love learning more, seeing pics and reading up on all of the old speed trials. I love the car listing showing what manifold, cam, engine etc...they were all running.

Thanks again!
