Any chance a Jersey Guy has a photo of a 32 3window out of Westfield/Scotch Plains in the 60's known as the Green Frog? Would love to see it one more time. thanks
Don't remember if I posted these before(too lazy to go thru the 20 pages of this thread)but here are some pics that my good friend Vito Venuti sent me awhile back.The Autorama program is great and brought back a lot of good memories. We'll be having a bunch of good memories on August 19th at the All Timer's Gearhead Gathering.

post 405 shows a semi famous local car, that has just one rear view in the "Cool Cars/Square Rollbars" book. I have been looking for a front end pic for a long time. This is the Ice Box, in later form, most likely the medium blue metallic I saw when it was in my town in the very early 70s. It was originally white with chrome door hinges, looking like the antique home iceboxes from long ago. Was in some well known 50s drag race against another well known coupe, maybe the one in the same post? Early version is said to be Caddy, but then replaced by a Nailhead Buick, which I think is shown. Car went to Fla in the late 70s or even 80s, all apart, no motor or perhaps SBC mocked up, color said to be brown. Sat there in a home garage for a long time, now lost.
Great stuff Rick, hope there's more. Thanks for sharing your pics Baron. Nice that you can Id the owners. How many are still around? Anyone have pics of Gene Lade's 32? I'm told it still exists but I've never seen it.
The gold 26/27 T roadster belongs to Don Gallant owner of Don's Speed Shop in Newington, CT, "Connecticut's Oldest Dragger". Don has owned and raced the T since the 1950's and has been a fixture in Connecticut for many years.
Worth another look.. The Norm Wallace roadster defines the East Coast style. As does Fred Steele's roadster
Remember seeing it at one of the old Stafford swap meets, in brown, no motor, was not a lot of money, wish I'd bought it, but we just got a house etc. etc. Still have a photo in my office,(from when it was white).
