It also appears that in addition to the tinsel, they have spread "angel hair" over the tree as previously noted. I have not seen angel hair used that way before.

 

The "Original" Triple Nickel drag car debuted in the mid-50's. If you take a quick review of the December, 1956 issue of Rod and Custom you will find the cover car and feature article concerns the Walters and Murray 1929 Ford Roadster, 555. After a short stay in Wichita, Kansas the Triple Nickel moved to Amarillo, Texas.
Under the ownership of Don Morgan and Bob Johnson The 555 roadster won Middle Eliminator at the very first race contested at Amarillo Dragway.
The Triple Nickel roadster was the cover car on the 1961 NHRA South Central Division Drag Strip Guide.The January, 1963 issue of Hot Rod magazine carried a multi-page article titled "Triple Nickel" with photos by Dale Ham.
Fast forward a year or so, and the Triple Nickel had moved to Kansas City, Missouri and became the AHRA A/Altered National Record Holder while being campaigned by Arrow Speed Shop.
From there the vehicle moved into the hands of my father. For the past 40+ years the Triple Nickel has sat in his garage with a 409 Chevrolet and B&M Hydrostick between the frame rails.
