More Rare Bonneville Pictures- 1959

Here’s another killer batch of Bonneville pictures from the Mike Smith Collection as promised, and there are plenty more great cars to check out. I believe most of these shots are from the ’59 SCTA meet- Obviously some of them don’t have the handy date stamp at the top to verify the exact year, but nonetheless, amazing black and white pictures once again. It’s a great look back at the early days of organized racing on the salt, and how simple and raw all of it was 50+ years ago. Then I look again and see some random guys having run, wrenching, racing and hanging out. Maybe nothing has really changed…
