[ATTACH] We lost a great man and pal, legendary driver, engine man and crew chief, Dale Armstrong today. Dale was a close friend. I was...
Yep, I owned and enjoyed this little jewel for several years. It was one of my favorites--but like all T's, it was a tight fit. I couldn't dirve...
From 3:50 to 4:10 That's Tom Cobbs' wrenching the blown flattie before a run. The roadster with its quick-change "coupester" top joined the...
Love that Riv! You're going to run the prices up--but that's good, because as demand rises more get saved. This was the original Vegas pimp...
Sometimes one has to reframe it; sounds like you, with the help of the little coupe, have done a pretty good job of that. Now get up every...

Here's a "God Bless the Flatheads" shot taken by Tom Cobbs at Bonneville in 1953 the year he and Buddy Fox ran Alex Xydias' So Cal coupe to a "C"...
Jive-Bomber sure picked an awsome shot to get everyone fired up for Bonneville! For those of you who may not readily recognize the car and truck...

Ryan, two sayings that my dad taught me apply to this exchange: "The world is made up of two kinds of people, road builders and those who look...
how about "in the eyes of the beerholder?"
Here are two full on side views from Bonneville in 1953. That's Tom Cobbs in his signature pith helmet. That year he drove the car to smash the...
Yes!
I had to call Don and read this post to him. He laughed his ass off! Great line! We had a super day out there. The car overheated once and Don...
Really enjoyed meeting you too. Glad to see the car is in good hands and that it's back at Larry's where it and his guests can enjoy it! Very...
Don't worry; the car will never be molested. Just applied some race livery for the show. NOT PERMANENT. Nothing different than would have been...
As good as sex going through these.
Incredible! I can't believe that guy walked away from that. I lost count of the rotations. These were definately the real men of the era.

Just got to this one. Nice piece on a nice piece. Thanks! Ralph
You're right! And it looks a lot better. I'll fix my original post and credit you. The ford guys used the bar just like the plymouth guys--hot...
again, we are talking about form and proportion and its contribution an object's broad and enduring aesthetic appeal--in this case our beloved '32...
Here they are in black and white, thanks to Bruce: Note that these patents were applied for in April and June of 1931 by guys named Joseph Galamb...
It looks more like Henry.

Woops!
