Art & Inspiration The **OFFICIAL** door lettering thread

Nice looking old '41.

 

^^^that 41 is most likely for sale, but me & my buddies can never find anyone home,...they just pulled it out to the road about a week ago..will keep trying, it's super solid.

 

It sure seems like someone had a old red metal toy truck with that logo on the door a few years ago on here that was wanting any info on where it came from....might not have been that logo at all but sure seems like it.
I am positive that I have saw that truck posted recently on here within the last few months tho, May have been you who posted it???

 

nope,...this truck just got moved out about 3 weeks ago..

 

^^^^Umm...that’s not a door.

 

Son and daughter did this over spring break a few years ago.

Being around you guys as well as me has Ruined Ethan. He had this put on the tailgate of his OT truck over the holidays.

 

a couple of my attempts

 

I have my Dad's old service station logo and phone number on my door. I did substitute the "Exxon" with a "Ford" logo.

 

That really looks like original work!

 

That’s really cool

 

Found this one today

 

Been sitting in the same spot since I was a kid in the ‘70s.

Hello,

The time period of the early drag racing cars, trucks and vans were mostly based on speed shops, auto body shops, muffler shops where the race car was made. Also, the amount of sponsorship that was spent. Most were the owners or close friends of the place. One such place was Daddy’s Auto Body in the San Fernando Valley region of L.A. Not only did they have a fast, hard charging Buick powered FED that looked like a trophy winning show car, but they traveled all over So Cal to race others, too.

The Buick motors were rotated within the tight circles of the Tommy Ivo group in those early days.

I am not sure which version of the Daddy’s Auto Body FED is the most intriguing. The yellow version or the one with the famous Tommy Ivo upswept header pipes and fabulous blue flame paint job.

Reath/Maillard (a great combo)
Hello,

Our first sighting of a name on the side of a drag race car was at Lions in 1957-58. The white Model A sedan from the Reath/Mailliard group was as fast as it was loud. That drew the attention of most anyone within hearing distance of the Altered Class race car. The motor being 25% back into the sedan body and the driver sitting in the back seat area gave the power and build to go fast. This sedan was fast and made believers out of the competition.

The first versions of the sedan had made it a favorite among the racers and spectators. Over the years, the sedan was sold as partnerships dissolved and different motors were supplied to make the sedan go faster during the weekly competition. Throughout the whole racing development, build and racing, the one name stayed the same… Joe Reath and Reath Automotive. The build took on many different names and teams, but the stability of Reath Automotive was the key to the fast altered sedan.

Then, just Reath Automotive, and the Dosser Bros. (owned a Jeep dealership in Long Beach, Dosser Automotive)

The 29 Ford Altered Sedan was a regular at Lion's Dragstrip from the early days and well into the 1960-61 era.
