I think the Corvette has to be in this discussion too.
I liked the 57 2 door cop car. I think the California kid would have spun out before the Plymouth.
This was not on the side of the road but in a location away from home. In the 80s I was going to Lead East. The day before I took the car out to...
What about the High and Mighty Plymouth Drag Car. [ATTACH]
Those Rambler Americans sure had some "unique" styling. "Different strokes for different folks".

I used air shocks when I used to drag race. I had each one set up separately so I could load one side for better traction and going nice and...
Nice, I'm glad you fixed the problem.
twenty8 is right. If you measure a 5 & 1/2" rim from the outer edges, it will measure 6".
It was done by me in 1981. It is Mopar Jamaican Blue lacquer. The picture is about 2-3 years old.

I've had Mopars with 4-speeds for over 50 years and never had that problem. The clips should keep them from making noise. Are your clips in good...
I like it.
I think the answer to your question will be different for everyone. I turned 76 last November. I still do the same stuff on my cars that I always...
That's a really nice truck. Back in the fifties and sixties my dad had international trucks he used for his business. One was a small dump truck...
I had a 56 two door sedan with a V8 and powerflite. Nice cars. Mine had the 277 Poly which Plymouth eventually made into the 318. The poly in the...
I used Kirker single stage urethane on a daily driver 1957 Plymouth. It was white and I had it for about 10 years and never garaged. It kept its...
I don't see Hot Rod magazine as having too much of a future. When I got my issue, I would say it looks nice but I'm not a fan of the whole pro...
I always liked Studes. I had a 63 Lark 2 door with a 289 and automatic that I bought when I got out of the Army in August 1969. It was in good...
I agree with the above comments. Make it mechanically sound first.
I can't believe they put that big bulge on the hood because of the generator. How hard could it have been to fabricate some brackets to move it?...
I've seen them but never on a car. I don't think I would feel safe using them.
I agree with PackardV8. A poly 318 should not be too hard to find, they made lots of them. I had one in my 57 back in the sixties. With an Isky...
I miss Islip Speedway. My older brother took me there when I was a kid. Later when I got my own car, I raced on the eighth of a mile track. Other...
I've had multiple myeloma for 2 and 1/2 years. There is no cure, but the treatment is extremely good. My cancer is down to a level that will let...
I don't think that there is any one engine that you could say is the "ultimate". Most have their own characteristics and some work better in...
Nice car. I like it with the hood on too like in the old photo. Does it still have the same engine in it?
I like the truck although I don't like the black scallops around the headlights.
I agree with what was said above. Any HAMB friendly car with a nice paint job in near mint condition is not going to fool too many car guys. Like...
Forget sleepers going down the drag strip, on Friday cruise nights in the warm weather there are usually about 8 to 10 gassers that show up. Mine...
