Here's a picture.

 

I know Speedgems I took that picture with the flap of my Kodak camera in front of the lens. It was at Westhampton dragstrip. He was racing Jack Merkel they both ran B/GS.

Was told this was a Rochester, N.Y. coupe?

 

From Pgan ... Mike Kuhl's 38 What’s so special about a primered, pug-nosed, unlettered ’38 Willys coupe that gets it a 1st place trophy in the Comp Coupe class? To start, this was its first car show, so all those trophies were won at drag strips. In fact, 30 wins with a best time of 132 mph in A/Gas running a ’58 Buick engine, unblown as far as we can see. The owner/builder/driver? St. Louis native Mike Kuhl, who soon migrated to the West Coast to set up shop building stout superchargers for Top Dog racers, and won plenty more trophies with his own Kuhl and Olsen Top Fuel rail.

 

Boy that is an "old timer" I'm guessing 62-63.
