Yes Doc yer right! I meant noooo disrespect at all!!! In fact, I have mucho respect for allllll servicemen and women! Ya know what I always told the people that asked how I could work up there..."Hell,I'll prolly die fallin off a barstool!!!" hahaha!!!

 

A few new JR car photos.
Yes the 57 Thunderbird was gas powered.

 

Man, you guys are killin me! I miss this thread for a day or two,and there are twenty new pages that I have to catch up with.
What a GREAT thread!!

 

GREAT shot of Fonty and Herb goin' at it on the dirt, SWI! Any HAMB NASCAR nut know
what was the track and the date of this race? Both of the Hornets appear to be '53s. (If this pic
is from the '53 season, then Herb was headed for a runaway championship, his second Grand
National Championship since 1951.)

Also, anybody know the circumstances around which Big Bill permitted drivers to hang that
screen out front for the dirt tracks? Sure was different from systems used in recent decades!
Again, FABULOUS shot of two great Hudson drivers in action there, Gary. What an amazing
-- though BRIEF -- time that flathead six Hornet Era was in NASCAR!

ADD: I should have also mentioned, Herb just EDGED Fonty Flock for his previous championship,
in '51.

 

Holy cow, 29Bowtie. That's a bloody fortune sitting there (in today's dollars, anyway). Was there any INFO where you found this? E.g., place, year, who sequested these Cords, etc.? What a photo!

 

here is more on that photo...

A Nascar Hall of Fame without Wendell is like Cooperstown without Jackie.

An old friend that is gone had a Cord back in the day. The shifter caused him trouble and he sold it for something like $25.

 

Anyone notice the Duesenberg roadster on the left??

 

I was wondering what it is.

 

Maybe it's the same A-C-D graveyard that Tucker Fan 48 posted with the rusted out Tucker? How many Cord graveyards could there be???

 

Here is the Claypool tunnel in Arizona, built in 1920-1. It served until the new tunnel cam in 1952 which is still in use.









You can still hike the old hiway and walk through it.
