Thanks, Cabrioletboy! Looking forward to your post!

 

Awesome post sweetie, I've realy enjoyed viewing all your Dad's photos. Scrapbooks are cool! Thanks for sharing.

 

Very neat pictures.

 

Standing; from second left in the plaid hat is Lazern Guthry, next to him is Marshall Maynard, in the T-shirt with the writing behind your Dad is Tom Dunlap, fourth from the right standing is "Bimbo". Bottom row third from the left is Bobby Hahn, fourth from the left is John Hellis. That is all of the names he could remember. Tom Dunlap said the pic was taken in '55 or '56 and the place is where the Muncie drag strip is now but before it was built. That is all I have for now.

 

I never realized boys wore saddle shoes at that time as well as the girls.

 

Very cool...brings back alot of memories of all my uncles...I grew up in Fort Wayne in the 60's and 70's...thanks for sharing

Don't think that 5 window with the guys around it is finished. No exhaust pipe on the exhaust manifold. But then maybe they drove it that way.
