Hot Rods What was first hamb friendly car ?

The year was 1957, me on the front tire of my first 'Hot Rod'. I was 15, fun times!

 

1937 Ford 4-dr. sedan. I was 15 going on 40. lol

 

Not sure if any of mine truly are.
The first that would pas the year cut off was back in 77 or so with a 62 Nova II. 327 four speed narrow Pontiac rear end with spool and Cragar SS wheels. More of a street race car.

 

early 90's at sunset dragstrip in western Pa. 350 sbc, fenderwell headers, 10 bolt posi, th350, still have the mill, ladderbars and 10 bolt in my roadster.

 

My first H.A.M.B. friendly car was also my first car, a 1939 Ford Std Coupe, purchased in 1958. I loved that car, and got my license on that little beauty.

I'm another old guy that had all HAMB friendly cars until I bought a new 68 Z28 Camaro! Oh my first car was a 49 Olds that I bought out of a junk yard with bad trans and they included a used Hydromatic that weighed a ton, which i proceeded to change in the driveway with the help of a few friends.

 

My first one at the age of 6 (had to drive to school) was a 50 Commer ute, flat head 4. Long succession of 57 to 64 holdens after that until I went "modern" with a 65 HR Holden.

 

My first car/truck ever. Drove Moms until my Dad found this in a junkyard for 50 bucks. One year later 389 poncho powered and ready for Highschool.

 

My first car, a 55 Chevy 210, that I bought in 1977. Here's a photo from 1979.




I still own it, today. Here's a video link from this year's Glory Days Drag Meet, in Byron ILL.

 

In 1974 I was 16 and bought my first vehicle , a 1938 International pick up . Sorry for the terrible photo .

Here’s mine. 1964

My first old car was the 62 Impala I bought in early 1997- and still own. It has a bit over 24400 miles on it now, it had 15600 on it in 97

 

my first was this 1929 Ford cabriolet. I got it in 1958-59 added dropped axle, hydraulic brakes, Mercury wheels, 5.60s and 8.20s, Bell steering wheel, paint, upholstery, and chrome. It was my high school car, but it is a lot nicer now, but in large part much the same look.

 

When I was 12 I sold my go kart in 1961 and bought my 1934 Ford from the original owner for $90. The following year I bought a 1953 engine with 3 dueces for $35. I guess prices have gone up a little since then.

 

When I bought my first car in 1965 everything was HAMB friendly except for a few Mustangs and GTOs.
My ride was a tri five.

 

I bought my first car in 1961 it was 1972 before I had one that was not Hamb friendly.

 

1954 Victoria. In 1989 I was 19, and went with a friend to a car show at the Don Garlits Museum. It was sitting on a trailer with a for sale sign and I fell in love with it. I talked about it non-stop for 3 days until my poor father could stand no more, and he took me to the bank and co-signed a loan so I could by it. Now that's a good Dad! This is the day it came home.

 

My first was a $ 75.00 - 49 Studebaker Pickup , flathead 6 used more oil than gas , Simas Bros. Stations sold bulk oil @ 29 cents a qt. in glass bottles , My Dad had a Body Shop , We did some work on a 32 Vicky for Ed Hegarty @ Deal Auto Wrecking , he gave me an engine/trans from a burned 56 Olds with a Distributor and Carb to fix it . that old red pickup had 456 gears and would leap off the line , was a sleeper ( no pic )

 

I started driving in 60 and every car I had was Hamb friendly until 69 or 70. The oldest was a 40 standard cpe the newest a 61 Impala convert
