I was scanning the internet only to find this Ranchero that took my breath away, appears to be a '58 with a Hillborn Injected 427. It ran as a C/Altered and was owned by Al Dixon. (Photo by Joe Stevens, 1968 Detroit Autorama) Does anyone else have additional pictures?
became a show rod after it was no longer competitive?? because that teardrop won't clear the stacks if you try to close the hood.
Al sold the car years ago (early 70's?) to another well known Windsor Hot Hot Rodder. He drove it on the street for a few years, sold it, bought it back again, I think, and resold it. It vanished for a number of years, during which time, someone painted it dark blue metalflake, and upholstered it with hideous blur velour. Al was able to buy it back a few years ago and it's being restored now. I'm sure it'll be nicer than it ever was when he's done with it!
