The guy second from the left finds this drag racing business "Verrrry interesting".

 

Pamela Tiffin, hubba, hubba.

 

the Simca Vedette was a four door sedan. The bodies on the truck were two door sedans.

 

And the original, Arte Johnson passed away only this week.
Absolutely loved Rowan & Martin's "Laugh In" - Sock it to me!!

 

Look closely and you can see the slight curve of the 1933 grill.

 

Connecticut Drag Way.

 

I have one of their car club plaques. The guy I got it from found it a storage sale. Don't know if it's original or not?

 

G B racer, built by the Granville brothers. they built 11 racing airplanes, and killed 13 pilots.

 

This is what happens when there are pin holes in the shutter.

 

I saw a reproduction at an airshow at Westover AFB, MA. The difference was that it was a "fly by wire" meaning that it flew with the aid of an computer. The pilot told me that a red light on the dash would light up when the computer was making adjustment to the physical motions to the pilot. He said that the only time the light was out was when the A/C was sitting on the tarmac. Jimmy Doolittle had the best luck with this design.

 

WARNING, SLIGHTLY OT !
I love Studebaker stuff, all of it, so please don't take this as making fun of the amazing Studebaker related products and cars. I own the trunk badge from a commander, but I got my neighbor to pose for this shot, he used the picture to put on his business card, old hippies and musical instruments, go figure!

 

How cool. Should post a pic of it.

 

Nise, how can we be sure you are not part of the government UFO coverup conspiracy?

 

That is a sad fact, I clicked the like button only because I liked the historical information. See you at Hershey Nick, 50 years in a row for me, great memories. Bob

 

I'll try to post one.
