    I just bought a 32 sedan and I was told that it was owned by Stan in the 50's and he raced
    it at the first Santa Ana drags, it ran a flathead and had wide five hubs on the front and the front fenders were flamed by Von Dutch.
    I will post some pics later.
    Thanks
    Marshall

    I am just mildly losing my mind right now, because in the early seventies Street Rodder did an "auto biography" on Betz, and there is a picture of that car at curb side. So far I have been through '73,4,5,6,7,8 and have managed to miss it each time. I'll keep digging...
     
  7. Dick Page owned this car and it was in the Seattle area. He is also selling his chopped 63-64 Riviera. Dick is a legend in the Northwest. Check out Dick Page on facebook for pics. Pat

    Nope, just a boarderline OCC dork with a huge magazine collection, a semi photographic memory (as long as it wasn't about something 10 minutes ago!), and minimal scanner and computer skills...

  28. Dick still has the black 2-door. The one he just sold he has had for over 50 years. He still has his 32 5-window and the Summers channelled 40 merc rag built by Valley custom too. By the way, his chopped 64 Riv that has been in storage since 68 is still for sale. Pat
