i like customs that is to say, i don't like the new trend of building cars that mimic the look of a g***er but won't crack 15 at the strip
The 40-41's are alike in every way except for the grille opening, and headlight trim rings...that should be a group! You do need the '33 Willys in there, as it was completely different. g-willys
OK I threw Henry J in there just because my favorite ride in a G***er was in a J. But if I had to choose one from those with fame it would be a toss up between Big John's or Ohio George's Willys. If it came down to pure looks I would have to fall back on Ohio George, I just like the looks fo the earlier Willys.
I'm with Don, Anglias do it for me. Of course 55 Chevys make killer race cars too. I don't know if I've ever seen a Fiat g***er, what's the wheebase on them? Larry T
I think they would have been legal when they first allowed foreign bodies. hen they forst allowwed bodies from the other side of the pond there was a displacement rule for the small bodies but no wheel base rule.
Benno, I'm pretty sure that when they first allowed Anglias in the g***er cl***, the exception was strictly for Anglias (but maybe not) and they weren't allowed in the blown cl***es in NHRA. I think AHRA did allow them in the top cl***es, so NHRA followed suite and let cars like Skippers Critter and King Kong run. Let me look. OK, looks like foreign cars were legal as long as they had a 92" wheelbase. The exception was for "English Fords" and the stock wheelbase for them was 90".
