Grahame, I can only recall seeing a pic like this one other time. (Apparently,
people didn't photograph cabs much.) Is this a Checker? Or, maybe, a Hupp?

 

she should of been shot for treason that bitch!!

 

No, she shouldn't have been allowed to come back. Same as anyone else who left the country because of it!

 

OK, boys and girls, back to a 1950's tea party....

 

I think those were the James Garner s.c Ramblers he ran at Baja ?

 

I'm not sure of Garner's involvement,but SC/Ramblers were from 1969,and Jim was involved with the Hickey Olds Cutlass/442 projects at that time. Those look like '66-7 Ramblers. Got any more info on those?

Latest issue of Hot Rod has a good article on the Garner/Olds cars and history.

 

from popular hot roddings wide world of off road vehicles, fall of 1969 issue.

 

Car number 110 is being restored http://theamcforum.com/forum/baja-s-c-rambler_topic21515_page1.html

 

Hope not a re-post.
I have read from day one and not seen this photo of Don Garlts in the T bucket that started it all.
What a true pioneer.

 

This T-Bucket "started it all " ?

And I thought it was Norm Grabowski...and Tommy Ivo's T's.

Or maybe Ed Iskendarian.

Tell me more.

 

Don's career, not the T Bucket in general.

Yellersprint;thanks for the info! I was way wrong there,doh...I'll blame it on the year 1973;no,wait,it might have been '75...

 

And...regarding Don Garlits in his formative years, here's a photo of the "T" with lengthened wheelbase. Note body, engine and seat set back. I don't believe this had ever been done.

 

I worked just around the corner from the Ventura Chapter of the ANGELES, and met a few of them, and maybe Sonny. As long as you were not a jerk about things, they weren't bad people, but if you were . Nice bikes, but loud.

 

There's a really cool rodded one of these in France, very hi-tech though with cameras for rear view mirrors etc. but the body's not been changed a great deal, also has a very trick trailer/caravan with it.
