Hot Rods Color photos of Rods '40s thru early '60s - What You Got?

Following from Jay.S's thread http://jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=640544 Great color shot of a Coup and Roadster.

I was wondering what folks had color photo wise of the '40s thru early '60s era? Pre-1935 Rods particularly.

I love the Hot Rods of The '50s Book by Andy Southard Jr. and was thinking others must have photographed 'Rods' in color during the same period.

 

Here's my Dad right after the war in Hollywood.

 

This was my first street rod. (1960) Has one of first metal flake paint jobs.
Powered by a 1957 corvette 270 H.P. 4:11 posi. Corvette 3 speed.

 

Great looking east coast Hot Rod...cool drive train too !! Any idea where it is now???

 

In the pits at LIONS, summer 1963. Photo by Doug Hayes, 13 years old.

 

Another shot by the young Mr. Hayes. This time in the spectator parking at the San Gabriel strip.

 

These next 3 were taken by me on a Sunday afternoon at the Pomona drags in 1959. These cars were typically what you would see in the spectator parking lot.

Excellent folks. Love the 'Moon Disc'/Hub Cap era Rods. An era when your caps could reflect the motor you were running.

I don't know, but I am presuming the magazines of this era took many color photos but obviously published most of them mono/duo tone. Anybody know of such 'mag' photos published in books? Hot Rod , Car Craft etc.?

 

I sold the car in 1968 to man in N.H. for $800.00. He sold it to someone he worked with. I was talking with a man about has model A coupe. And toldhim I had one like his and sold it back 68. As I told him about my car. He said I owned that car for 20 years. Sold it and the guy that bought it crashed it.
Then about 20 more years went by. And I was reading the Want Ad and saw an ad for a hot rod built in the 60s.This sounded like my car so I called on it.
I asked him if it had 56 buick port holes in the rear wheel wells. I had put them there for the brake cables. So I was off to RI. to see it and maybe buy it back.
He said he picked it up in N.Y..It was my car. But it was more then I could stand to see it. It was sad to see how the owners had butched it up.

 

There was a war in Hollywood? Just kidding, nice period pic.

 

Gary Heiliker's T. Note a young Norm Grabowski checking it out.

Geez, I need to find that negative, Dean.
I remember that day like it was about two months ago.
What a great time to be a dopey kid at the drags.
