    Post your pictures and scans!!

    I'm looking for vintage speed equipment catalogs for my Stovebolt Speed Parts Archive.

    http://public.fotki.com/Rosebudcustoms/catalogs-and-advert/

    I'm not asking for anyone to sell me their out of their collection (unless you want to). I'm more looking for scans to add to the archive.

    So far I have:

    1949 Wayne MFG CO
    (Not uploaded)
    1954 Wayne MFG CO
    (Not uploaded)
    1952 Newhouse
    (Scans from my catalog not finished)
    1960 McGurk


    And lots of vintage adds by themselves


    If you have scans or pictures that you would like to share please post them. I'd love to see what is out there and I'm sure that others would too!

    So lets go! What ya got??!!

    I have a favor to ask you collectors of vintage speed parts catalogs. I just bought a NOS Drag Fast 3 speed shifter. It appears to be early '60's vintage. The warranty reply card doesn't have a zip code on it so maybe it is pre-1963? It was supposed to fit a 49-61 Ford or Mercury transmission based on the instructions in the box. The standard trans model number would be 115, overdrive 116. Unfortunately it doesn't come close to fitting my '53 Merc OD trans. The faded markings on the box appear to read Model #146.

    Please help me with some detective work to figure out what this fits. Hopefully someone's old catalog lists Drag Fast shifters and their part numbers. Thanks.

    Not a 'speed parts' catalog; I have a '37 Western Auto catalog that has been a good reference...would be happy to scan & post pertinent bits if you think it's appropriate.
