Tomorrow I will build a mount to hang my dad's car club plaque. He along with Bill Burke, Joe Hunt and a few others were in a club in LA in the late 30's. Club name was Road Rebels. Here is dad with his 34 roadster. Oh and that is an original Carson Top With a little porting and ignition work by Joe Hunt (magneto fame) it did 98.7 at Muroc Dry Lake They had a reunion in the mid 60's at our house in Burbank, CA. Somebody had a local foundry cast up some plaques and painted them for members at the reunion. They forgot the "S" at the end but that is ok Dad and I started a 32 Highboy about 40 years ago then life got in the way. All we had was ch***is parts. I bought a Brookville 8 years ago and am getting closes to finishing it. I think of dad whenever I work on it. I have to have this plaque on our car.
Sounds awesome. Feel a little in too keeping an eye on you! My high school ride in very early 1960s,an still drive her. ;
My Dad's Car Club that he and a few other guys in Pewaukee Wisconsin started in I believe 1956. I still have his original plaque and have worn it on every one of my "Hot Rods" since his p***ing in 1974 at only 51 years old. Right nom it hangs on my garage wall as I don't have a car worthy to wear it. Maybe someday I will . I'll be 71 in May and even though I've had it on several cars since 1974, I'm not gonna say I'm done.
