Got a nice private message from this Ford's owner's son. He's 88 and still active in the hobby and he's had a 1936 Ford since 1946. I guess he's...
I actually drove this one once at Middletown in a vintage event....although it was #72 and red at the time. 1939 Chevy body on a 54ish Chevy...

I'd be trying to drag enough chunks out of there to weld up a stock car body at least. Cool find!
Very cool...I sure miss race cars that were built using imagination and Yankee inginuity.
