    Wow, those are fantastic shots. The guy in the red ball cap, is my old friend, Bill Cole. The Strokers were from Whittier.

    What fabulous snap shots in time :cool:
    Love the various types of surplus flight jackets on show, 2 x USN G-1's, and what appears to be a USAAF A-2, B-10 & B-15. The red ball cap is likely a USAAF one as well.

    Guess they weren't all painted black back then, were they?

    The blue 32 roadster is Gene Hewitt’s. He shat the 39 transmission in it.

    the engine is my avatar.

    I once aspired to build a tribute to it and collected a lot of the parts needed to build it - but reality stepped in, and now I drive a banger coupe
