RaceRon, Do you have any info on this car, where it was taken? My father had a black chopped and channeled black 32' five window when I was just a rugrat. I remember playing in it in the garage. He sold it to a guy down the street for $50.00. It was a basket case in the garage about 1968. Just wondering/hoping this is it. Thanks

 

Hey guys,.... Don't want to be an old wet blanket here,.... But you do know a big bunch of these pictures have been posted 5 or 6 times before on this thread.... Just mentioning it.

 

I just recently joined, so I am glad they are being posted. Really like them. Thanks.

Indianapolis 500 Veteran, National Sprint Car Hall of Famer, and member of our own Bettenhausen family here in Tinley Park, Gary Bettenhausen, p***ed away unexpectedly yesterday. He was one of the best to ever sit behind the wheel. Although we are all mourning the loss of a family member, we are all celebrating Gary's legacy and what he has contributed to our deep racing history.

 

Intersection of Twelve Mile and Southfield Roads in Southfield if anyone is interested.

 

Made it! Been offline for almost three weeks. Now sore from scrolling through. Great stuff though. Thanks, everyone.

 

Sorry to hear that, he was a true racer.

 

HEY!---Wait a minute,---You forgot to port & relieve it!!!

 

Sorry to learn of his p***ing. I met him many, many years ago at P.I.R., seemed like a nice guy. R.I.P.

 

I though I read about 2 years ago this was a shot of a New England scene. Either at Orange or Sanford A.P.

 

Sorry but no I don't have any info on that car. While some of the pics I post might have a caption or short story, most do not. This one did not.

 

Been thru that intersection myself more times than I can remember.

My Bel Air Sport Sedans. Models now rarely seen.
Yes, my white one was a factory F.I. car.

 

A nice guy, indeed, fun to be around. And he was an old-fashioned, hard-nosed REAL racer.

 

I think I see the poor sap that always got to hand-pack the wheel bearings. He was "good at it" so the boss let him do 'em all. LOL

 

my brother has one of these trailers behind his 37 plymouth, cool little deals, one wheeled
