i spent more than a few hours scouring the board over the last couple of nights and as it were the search tool doesn't like 3 letter strings like pre or war and the term prewar turns up random results... what can i say. i loves me some pre war hot rods. now i know there are a couple of KILLER threads like this one... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=149631&highlight=modifieds+they+were maybe you have some in your subscriptions or you just have some killer pics of pre-war hot rods... maybe you have some historical photos, or current photos of survivors and restored milestone cars. lets see 'em. commence drooling.
This is more of a special, but I guess it kind of qualifies as a pre-war hot rod. Powered by a 4 carb overhead cam Stutz Straight 8. I've posted it before and it's got it's own thread here: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82304&highlight=schumacher
thanks Chris, this should interest you being from the area, I am by told by my mom that Riverside drive he ( Joe was his name ) is parked on. and thats Republic Studios , now Universal behind him.
Come on guys surely some of you can come up with some good period photos. This used to be a traditional hot rod site.
Pre-War, hot rods on the East coast would be: The Ford flathead-powered Old Grey Mare, seen here in the pits at Montauk. Victory for Lem Ladd. George Rand's Amilcar, repowered with Model B motor.
