    The 32 five window near the end of post #49 could very well be mine some time before I got it. Tail lights and shock mounts look the same but were pretty common. Wendover Motel is the old USAAF Bachelors Offerer's Quarters from when the Enola Gay crew and others trained there. My friend Bud Jones (Fastest Flathead in Willow Glen) ran at the Cal-Neva meets as well as early, and fairly recent Bonneville meets. You might want to contact him and see if you can get some of his pictures soon while you still can. PM me for contact info.
