Lowe as in Studebaker "Lowe boy" designed by Raymond Loewy. All in good humor, as I believe your comment was. 1 more car I promise, Rex Winter Dry n windy Lubbock TX
Raymond Loewy's design team (primarily designer Bob Bourke) was responsible for the designing and styling of the 1953 Studebaker and Avanti. Some other notable works of his include , there are many more that are not listed, Coca-cola's fountain dispenser Greyhounds Scenicruiser bus and logo NASA interior for skylab and the Apollo Program The Studebaker Commander and Avanti Air Force One Livery Just to name a few. Just saying.... Also the Pennsylvania Railroad's Steam Engine that he is standing on. Sent from my SM-T387V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
First photo shows the Central Excavating dirt car at Indianapolis in 1964. Cliff Griffith was the driver and while he ran halfway decent during Practice the car was too far out of date. IIRC, the car had a left side external fuel tank to help with weight distribution on a paved oval. And could that be Stirling Moss on the racing type riding mower in the second photo? Thanks, Rootie.
It is Moss, back in the 60s, at Brands Hatch, they put on goofy stunts for the drivers to participate in. Here's G. Hill racing a bathtub.
Ted Bacon a very good and well liked Oklahoma driver, His grandson now drives midgets and sprint cars and does very well in them.
I think maybe someone is reading the title wrong...it's "Vintage shots of days gone by" (part 2) ........ Not "Vintage Snatch Shots Of Days Gone By"(part 2) Not that Im against that sort of thing ...its just kind of a brain overload...not used too seeing that many at one time on this thread maybe....? I know that there's the Linda Vaughn thread and the trophy girl thread...but is there a "Traditional Pin-up Girl" thread"? Sent from my SM-T387V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
