Well its Bonneville speed week and I thought this would be fitting. A place I have never been, but have always dreamed about. I was digging through some of my old little books when I found December 1953 Rod & Custom. What a great issue it was and is. I hope you all enjoy these few pages.
That roadtrip is one of the best magazine reads ever...and did you read the wrieup on the cover roadster?? Street/show rod drives to the flats and goes realdamnfast...always wondered whether that car still exists! I have a couple of features on it, but not nearly enough! The T-V8 shop truck towing the coupe is another great old rod, probably not even thought of as a rod by the owners...it was just spare parts thrown together to provide some traction!
Bruce I was thinking the same thing about the roadster.....you are 110% correct Dang good read!!!!
The guy is Lou Bingham, the trip chronicles his Bonneville trip. That coupe was restored recently, and was in TRJ last year.
