Found 2 Old Gassers! 1953

Hey!
Went to Viva & took the 51 Henry J Gasser! Guy asked how much? Car wasn't really for sale gave him a price! He said he had a few old gassers & would let us know! Called me & funny lives about 15 miles from my house in SF Valley! He said he'll take the car do we want to take 2 old gassers in on trade? Hmmmm maybe! Well the deal was done!

1st car
1953 Olds Straight axle Olds rear end raced in N.CA back in 60s
Anyone ever seen this car! Anybody else have a Olds Gasser?
Would you bring it back to life? Or sale it? Just Reeks Old School!
Inside of car full of parts & funny current registration! Tks Solo

 

very cool!!!!!

 

2nd Car
1953 Ford Straight Axle 390 C6 9" Vortech Super Charger! Runs & drives!
Anybody ever seen this car? any other 53 Ford gassers out there? Anyone have a xtra Drivers frt fender & hood for this car? Tks Solo

 

I'm in love with Henry Js, but I think you did good. These are both very cool.

my 2¢

Yes! Henry J Very cool & nice car! Big Fish! Some go away & some don't go away!
Tks Bill

 

I love the Olds, very cool, very different and would look great with my 6 deuce 392 under the hood. So cool and so far away.

both of those cars would bring good money around here ,,,,,,i really like the one with the kool dash,,

 

The Olds needs a big Olds V-8. Multiple carbs would be a plus.

 

Yep!!!

 

nice trade ins....

 

Both cars seem to have newer straight axles in them?

I dont see any indication that the Olds is an ex-gas class race car. Aluminum slots, street tires, no tow bar brackets, stock firewall, rear wheel-wells arent cut. No single one item on that list would necessarily rule out ex racer, but you add 'em all up, and the sum total = street car. Caveat emptor.

 

Olds 394 w/dual quads and a B/M hydro, just reeks of the 60's

 

Cool score. Bill, Whatever you do to these cars. Could you please keep Brad away from the vinyl diecut sticker machine?!!! He loves that thing. Ha! One shot lettering paint is your friend.

 

Econo line axles! & Front rims 5 on 5 1/2 bolt on olds so I don't think bought at Speedway! Olds was raced in 60s n Ca all we know! No I don't think either were raced at the Nationals! Those stickers were made only for Viva show & Brad had nothing to do with it! He would of if asked! Tks for all the replys! SOLO

 

Funny! How can you look @ that old car & say it wasn't raced??? Rear fenders were not cut as they don't need to be the cars sits 10 Ft off the ground! If you don't think it is a old (Gasser) What would you call it! Low riders never used those hugh Ladder bars that I know of! Anyway Nobody said it was a Stone Woods & Cook Car! Just showing a cool old car from way back when! Tks For looking! Solo

 

Hmm.... Let me see here............



Yep- that's bitchin!

 

What ever you do to the Olds, Make it Streetable! I have many fond memories from a 53 Olds, and like all cool cars, they're only cool if you can drive them.

 

53 Ford Motor Pics!

Damn Bill, that Ford is right up my alley. Reminds me of a 52 Ford Coupe with radioused wheel openings like that once with a big Olds in it, I'd rather had a FE in it.
You always seem to come up with some cool stuff!

 

The ford is awesome!!

 

Didn't Gene Adams race an early Olds similar to that one? Very cool pair of cars.

 

Uh, yea...



Wait, lemme guess...Ex Stone Woods and Cook, right? Sorry, you have fun sonny. Live the dream...

 

That oldsmobile has potentional, love the look.

 

Tks Guys! Bill

 

I was just kidding Bill. I like the Ford better than the other one. What are your plans?

 

Plans: Buddy Don Waldron has Ford we are partners! Just fix it up & drive it & see if anyone wants it more than he does! Tks Ps i knew you were just kidding but true on vinyls! Tks Bill

 

Sonny!!! Now thats funny Gramps!! LOL Tks!

 

Nice! I would put the biggest damn rear wheels and meats I could find on the Olds.
