Good one LOL !

 

Wow, Henry's garage, a huge wrecking yard, was at the corner of Hwy's 92 and 101 in San Mateo, Ca. Went there many times as a kid. Cars hidden all over the place. Neil Young wrote in one of his latest book about buying a Buick there, getting it running and driving it home to his ranch up in La Honda. Henry was a cool guy, had a '73 Boattail Riviera and was VERY protective of his cars and yard. They tore it out in the late '80s I think because it had become an"eyesore"' like so many great wrecking yards in the bay area fell victim to.

 

Kinda looks like aunt Marthas could of been uncle Marty at one point...

 

nowadays, people wear cutoffs, tees and flipflops to church!

 

thought the shadow of the guy in the rear was a goatee! that does look like johnny horton--"battle of new orleans," "north to alaska"; he started out as a rockabilly artist. died young.

 

you're old if you know why the guy in the '50 ford has his arm stuck out!

 

appeared in "for those who think young" as james darrin's car. also seen in an episode of "perry mason." if you've seen "chasing classic cars" on the "motor trend" channel, it was featured in an episode. apparently well-built and in great shape!

 

shame on you, ramblin dan!

 

And male millennials wear girls tight fit jeans

 

Now days : >>> He just cut off and brake checked the big truck and he's got road rage and is flipping him off

The real "Wonder Years" kids.

Dualie View attachment 4185767 [/QUOTE] This is Stan Lomelino. From Central Illinois. He was a great friend and mentor to my dad who traveled a lot with Stan racing in the mid and late 50’s. This car required so much work to drive he quickly did away with it, he did run another twin motor Flathead car that was pretty successful. He doesn’t get much credit and isn’t well known other than around here but he won many many races with fuel Flathead cars. Some well after OHV motors were dominating.
Edit: Here is a short video of Stan’s later twin.

 

In your dreams old man!

 

I do this in my classics; not seen much anymore and gets attention - as in don't rear end me you fool...

I note the more savvy bikers do this too, perhaps for the same reason.
