History just got some racing pics in of my 32 + others at the strip, circa late 50s

my uncle, the builder of my 32 back in the 50s, just sent me down some pictures he recently found

he thinks they are from 1955, i think maybe a year or 2 newer

they are from walkill airport in upstate ny, i believe in orange county

i stll have the same front license plate, blc headlights and rear window on the car that you can see in these pics

 

now ill post some of the other pics he sent me

if anyone wants to blow these up and repost them, thats cool with me,

thanks
tony

 

more

 

last ones

i hope you guys enjoy them as much as i did

 

that's some cool old pics you got there! sometimes I forget why I come here... now I remember!

 

Excellent photos and the photographer was right that in the action. I was an old time flagger and that was sometimes scary.

 

Very Cool - Thanks - some wild racers

 

Love em! Really epitimizes (did i spell that right?) the whole idea of "Run what ya Brung"

 

Thanks for those great pics!

 

awesome old photos you got there!

 

These are amazing!!! Thanks so much for sharing!

 

KILLER! Im goint to print one or two out for Seco to see.

anyday now the may hot rod deluxe will be out with the 32 in it

btw
for those that dont know, whats written on the side of the car is

"highway men"
bronx ny

it was my uncles club, the front plate is on the car in the pic, and is still on the car today

 

Great shots of days gone by. Thanks for sharing.

 

I was trying to ID some of the engines; looks like a very early Olds 303 in the 33 Tudor? And a Buick nailhead, and a few hemi's which is suprizing for 1955.

 

my 32 had a 331 hemi in it in 1954

 

Thanks, I forgot to ask, just as I hit the submit button

I was thinking it still might have had a flathead.

that's a good turnout of oldies for the east coast, but the spectator crowd is unusually large, so it must have been a big show with good promotion.
