Features Early flames and scallops thread

I thought I'd condense my previous thread asking for help into a new one combining what I found. I'll do my best to credit those who contributed.

Please feel free to add appropriate images and history.

I'll start with some of the more random images I found.

 

The pickup from Rickster, the sprint car pics from gnichols.

 

From 1954, from 36cab.

 

From 1956 from Bill Van Dyke.

 

Belly tanks. If anyone can offer any history, please do.

 

A sprint car restored by philly the greek.

 

The Ayala Brothers shop truck.

 

The Berardini roadster.

 

Bud Parham's roadster.

 

The George Sein Flamer.

 

Gordon Stefans Plymouth

 

The early version of the Rod & Custom dream truck before work began.

 

The Tom Pollard roadster which shared the Car Craft cover with George Sein's Flamer

 

The Yeakel Brothers roadster.

 

Ed Roths '56 F100 and the Mercedes Gullwing that Von Dutch pissed a million people off with.

 

Cart Craft covers. Flames and a spiders web on the dash- amazing and horrible!

 

Hot Rod covers part 1. Not sure if the pickup can be classified as wearing scallops, but I had to include it...

 

Hot Rod covers part 2. The pale lemon/cream coupe has flames on the cycle fenders - it's on the August '58 cover of rod and Custom too.

 

Rod & Custom covers.

 

George Cerney's 32 Tudor, George Collins' 32 5 window (with trees in the background), Jerry Sprague's roadster (flames on hood side), Jim Lytle's 5 window. And a random roadster (#15 with eyes on the grill).

 

Ray Erickson's '34 roadster. I know the '50 Packard is later, but it shows the evolution, or lack of. And the funny chopped English Ford.

 

Awesome, thanks Jimmy! The car in the background of your shot appears to be this one. Hopefully someone can identify it and supply some better pics.

 

These famous flames on Rich Guasco's Pure Hell were painted in the 60s, but they show their origins. On of my favourites.

 

3 more random pics. The 1952 pontiac belonged to Paul Lehrbass.

 

Bill Hoffmans 1954 Chevy.

 

Are these scallops early enough? East Coast.

Damn... that does look early. What year is that from?

 

I've millions of magazines here, I just haven't got time to go through them all...

I try to keep the updates going.

The #55/a car was Bill Burke's belly tank, owned by the Lodes Bros in this shot.

The #77 car belonged to Bob Rufi.

The #21 car was Burt Letner's.

The '34 (I think) was George Miller's

The flamed/scalloped (hard to tell) sprint car was Louie Foy's in 1941 from Throttle magazine.

The #16 indy car belonged (or was driven by) Mauri Rose.

 

The Stan Evans special, one of my favourites.
