When I was a teenager in West LA in the '50s, there was an older local hot rodder named Jack Owens. He was the son of bandleader Harry Owens. I was hitchhiking on Sunset Blvd one day circa 1955, and got a ride from Jack in a white '37 Ford pickup (might have been a '35 or '36) running a blown Olds. It had "Mixmaster Jr." lettered on the back of the cab. Obviously, the truck was memorable. Anybody else recognize this guy or his truck?
