Speed shop owner's cars

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Racer29, Jul 29, 2012.

  1. So what kind of cars have you seen speed shop owners advertise with? On Friday I saw a Nissan Cube. Kind of thought it looked out of place advertising for a hotrod shop. Just my thoughts, what about yours?

    In the early 60s, Hank's Speed Shop Berwyn Pa. used a chopped and channeled, fenderless 32 Ford woody wagon Probably a home made version with the Deuce grill but it lit my fire back then. I think they just bought it and painted their name on it but it was still cool.I've seen a couple of pictures of similar hotrods but there is no telling if any of them were the one from back in the day.

    [​IMG] similar to this.

  5. The 911 car is like a gun dealer advertising with a Sherman Tank!

    Not sure I understand the question...so you saw the owner of a speed shop driving around in a Nissan, with a sign on the side? There could be many reasons - maybe he sells speed parts for them, maybe it was his wife's car, maybe he wanted a personal vehicle with a/c and room for the kids.
