Mark Murray's grandfather was a hot rodder and, lucky for us, an amateur photographer. In 1950, he made the trek to the Bonneville Salt Flats and brought along with him his...

That roadster cabrio is out of site...
Looks like it has one tailight, of the other is blocked by the plate, also dig the hitch over the bumper, and is that a NY plate? Imagine that trip across the country.

I know, right? That might be my favorite view ever of that car... I got to sit in it last year and it changed my life. Might be my favorite hot rod ever built.

Very cool!!

Way way cool, thanks for sharing

**JeffreyJames** · 02-26-2010, 10:11 AM

Gramps' '36 is spot on perfect with an awesome stance, nice rolling attire, beautiful dash probably full of a SW set, and that rich dark paint!

That Chopped sedan is cool too and well we all know it's really hard to make a car look bad on the salt. And it's certainly impossible when the cars are the heavy weights of Hot Rodding's history.

It was tight... but not to the point of undriveable... Kind of like a shoe that was a half sized too small, but really cool so you wore it anyway... And I'm 6'3" and 210 lbs.
