The man behind the controls is Stuart Hilborn.
The DOHC setup was designed & built by Leo Gossens & Harry Miller.

That brings back some memories for me too Maggie.
I grew up in a small town outside Salem, 8 years old, I watched the big storage building blow down at the lumber yard at the end of my street.

 

Portland also had floods.
Vanport flood of 1948.

 

Outside of Portland, Oregon; 1928....my grandmother's 1st car: 1925 Chevrolet....bought by ''taking in sewing & needlework"! Knowing my grandmother as elderly, and her driving skills ....I can only imagine her driving hunched over the steering wheelwhen young, and why the bumper is ''tweaked''...a common sight on her vehicles over the years.

 

The 1960 Rogue River Flood just down the rd. from our house....Old Hwy. 99: between Grants Pass & Rogue River, Oregon......the ''bigger'' flood was to come in 64' however!! -----water came over embankments quickly after this photo was shot...still rising much higher. Hwy. 99 is located ''in the trees."--- Ray

 

Interesting.
If it is Australia its a 57 Ford Customline with a 58 "Star Model" grille.
If its the US, ???????????????

 

Man, I've got to save up for at least 8 months to get that kind of cash.

Nice setup with that chain and sprocket and not chain guard to add extra weight. I'm guessing that with the chains on, this is for hill climb competitions.

 

With those numbers, I guess times really were slower and less stressful back then.
