I always thought the Merc with the canted quads was "The Chinaman's".
Sounds like VC. Then the sun goes behind Mt. Davidson at about 4:30 in the afternoon.
It's an electric motor.
That's what happens when you mix Humboldt's #1 agricultural product with hot rodding. It was at VLV a couple of years ago. I think there's a...
Don't ever do this. Do you know how much those things are worth?
Some bombers did use the shark mouth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:B-25G_Mitchell,_AAF_TAC_Center,_Florida_-_040315-F-9999G-005.jpg I...
It was built by Cushenbery and called Exodus. And it ain't a bubble top.
I'm pretty sure I have an extra one at home. I'll check this evening.
I think I remember seeing this car in a driveway somewhere around 7th Ave. and Indian School back in the mid 90s.
You sound like a restorer.
They're better than the Chevy sixes. Look at the flat pad behind the distributor. The first three numbers are the engine displacement. If...
Yesterday the front page of the local liberal rag had a story on the sacrifices everyone made in WWII, an editorial urging everyone to remember...

It looks like there is a cloth backing on the left collar disk. I have a dim recollection that those were not seen until the Occupation, and then...
I hope the new owner takes off those skirts.
Nope, there's no way a fiberglass Model A roadster is more desirable than a shoebox convertible.
Wait a sec. $16K is a good price for a Tupperware roadster, but $15.5K is too much for a nice shoebox convertible?

Did you read the article?
Wow, that doesn't look much worse than it did back in 1995. I think it was upside-down then and still had the taillights though.
That's the taped-up picture Squablow was talking about.
A HAMBer made one from a '48-'54 GMC truck grille. I can't remember who it was though.
That wheels-up shot of Drag~N~Fly is just about the most badass thing I have ever seen on the HAMB.
I am ordinarily not fond of chopped A coupes, but if they gotta be chopped, they should look like yours.
When I first moved to Flagstaff, I'm pretty sure there was a Perkins there. A couple of years later they remodeled whatever it was to the Galaxy....
It's not a "car movie". It's an existential film with cars in it.
It's a love-it-or-hate-it movie. People either appreciate the point it was driving at, or think it's a plotless mess.
I would go a little further and argue that '59/'60 GM hardtops demand to remain unchopped.
Cruiser skirts and a continental kit on a California custom? Only if there's a town called California somewhere in New Jersey.
There is a pretty good two-part article in Rod & Custom. I'm pretty sure it was the first two issues when Pat Ganahl revived it in the late 80s.
Separate names with a comma.
