  1. This pictures were taken by my Uncle Jimmy in 1956. I only know of one of the cars. If you can identify the rest of them please do so.

    Cool pictures, thanks for posting. Quality 50s color pictures are always good. That 32 roadster is neat.

    Those old pictures are cool.

    The woody was pictured on the cover of Rodding & Restyling Mag, August 1957. The mag said it was built by John Good, 21 years old, from Exeter, Pa., and featured 17 coats of green lacquer. It won many trophies and did 108 in the quarter.

    The last pic is "Golden Rod", an iconic east coast rod, and one of the first hot rods I ever saw, as a kid. It was built by Jack Lentz of Bedford N.J. and was on the cover of Car Craft Mag in October 1961. I used to see it driven around. It's still well preserved and in a private collection.
