Hot Rods Looking for this car

Looking for this car. Al Bergler's Canopy Dragster. Does anyone know where this is and help us out on locating it? Thanks.

 

No, but add me to the list of people that hope you find it! Always loved the look of a T body on a rail. Bob

 

T body? what was name on one in picture?

 

Yes, that is a 1923-25 Model T Ford Roadster body under the canopy. Bob

 

What bergler car was at the lane automotive show two years ago? I missed the show, but some friends went and said there were several "cackle" cars there and they had mentioned the gratiot automotive dragster, hopefully someone will chime in that was there and would know more. If not, you may want to contact lane automotive and see if Doug or any of the guys there know.

*EDIT*
You may want to try and contact Dave Crane in the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek area, he worked at Martin US131 Dragway for many many years and is quite the drag racing historian. He just may have some info. good luck.

 

That's the AGGRAVATION III dragster. Al himself and others have been looking for that car for years and offering a cash reward for it. Here's an old HAMB thread about it- http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=224556

 

^^^^^ That Bantam Coupe bodied rail in front of it is still around I believe. Bob

 

Yep, that one is Al Bergler's More Aggravation car... the very first Ridler Award winner, back in 1964.

 

Maybe it was this one. Al has had it at several cackle fests in the last few years.
