Hot Rods Four door drag cars of the 50's and 60's

This thread was inspired by an old pal who I've never met.
From the "drag cars in motion picture thread", thanks Gary.

 

The "Assassin" out of the Northwest.

Dave Koffel's "Flintstone Flyer" Packard was a National record holder, and multiple Nationals Eliminations winner.

 

I'm not sure these count (!), but E. J. Potter was no stranger to four doors on the strip.

I know there was a thread where you were't sure where that photo had been taken. I say it was at Ellensburg's, Bowers Field, when they were still racing on a taxiway (before they got the OK to race on a runway). You can still see the finish line painted on the taxiway, and the return road they had paved between the taxiway and the runway. That runway had been repaved, and looks like it's concrete now, if you want top do a GoogleMaps.Com search of the airport. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

AW shucks! Fordoors are cool!

 

Scapooose! I rember this was the first NW car featured in HRM!
It was a custom dragster! Marty Strode would have details!

 

I'm doing a 39 Willys four door right now. Kinda partial.
