Don't know, does this even qualify as a grill? One of the stranger front ends I've ever seen on a car. If I took it off I'd probably pick up a couple tenths in the quarter!
Hello, “V” for Victorious, Vicky, Valuable, Vehicle, or Vulcans… all play the part of a cool looking race car. The look, the stance, the color, a totally complete race car for everyone’s enjoyment. It is part of the So Cal lore in drag racing and continues to be part of the ongoing revival scene. "The Vulcans of Long Beach, CA." This sedan was/is one of our favorites from the Long Beach area. Not only did it run well, look outstanding and sound good, it was also sponsored by the Joe Mailliard Speed Shop that was located several blocks, near our old, Long Beach house. Jnaki The sedan has gone through many configurations over the years and ended up with the big 671 version. They were prominently displayed at last year’s Price Transfer’s Lions Dragstrip Museum Grand Opening. The bright purple color and shiny race goodies all made it stand out from across the floor of the museum floor. It is one fine Vicky...
Hello, The 1935-37 Ford grilles look somewhat similar. They were a far cry from the cool slant back look of the 33-34’s. On the other end of the 30’s, the 1938 Fords were getting their last shot at things “Art Deco” and gave the country a swoopy look on its own style. So, the 1936 still had the hot rod look that most enjoyed. On one of those in between So Cal rainy periods where most residents go for a mind clearing drive, we saw this cool blue 1936 Ford by the side of the road, sticking out in a field of “blah” newer cars. The color was one of the reasons, but in looking at what really stood out was the old styling from those good old days of hot rodding. Jnaki The newer cars surrounding this old 1936 Ford Coupe were blasé and there was nothing to make them stand out, unless they were painted red with yellow flames…but then, who does that?
