History 50s Long Beach car club

In the late 50s my brother and I hot rodded a model T coupe.
We raced it for a few years and then retired it.
We still have the car.
I've always wondered about a claim made by the guy we bought it from.
He said that it was the image of that car that was used for the club plaque for a Long Beach car club.
It's a '23 coupe body, chopped ~12 inches, on a '32 frame.
I'd really like to verify the story, and then try to find one of the plaques (fat chance).
This picture is of the car as purchased around 1958.

 

Quite a profile huh?

 

I don't know about your club,I've got a plaque (the seadaners) thay I've been trying to find any info about?????

 

talk to dennis obrien... if it was made, chances are he has the original master to it

 

Remember this one????----From Long Beach.

 

Here's a link to pics of Long Beach car club plaques:

In the 50s & 60s there were several foundries in the L.A area that made plaques.
I doubt that the pattern still exists, but just maybe somebody has one in there collection.
I would love to just get a look at it.

 

go to my link and there is a pic of a horrod race team, Ford Obsolete from the early 50's
