History old race car haulers, any pictures?

Looking at the drag cars in motion thread got me thinking. Who has pictures of the old drag car haulers from back in the day? I know most guys flat towed back then and maybe got an open trailer, but some of the big boys had some cool looking trucks. Ivo's glass sided rig comes to mind.
Let's see em.

 

It's not a drag car hauler but sure is HAMB friendly, it's Wendell Scott's 1954 Dodge NASCAR racecar hauler... I bought it from the family in 1998. It's now in a museum in Winston-Salem, NC.

 

This subject has been covered many times on here. But since we are on the subject, this 56 Chevy powered by an inline six 261 engine belongs to my friend James. It only has 14,000 actual miles on it. <center>

Do a search, recently there was a good thread on these.

 

Hope this isnt to new for the thread.

 

This is a old Ford Cab over I bought from Holman & Moody when it went up for sale. This was the hauler used for Fred Lorenzen cars. I got it I believe in 66-68 or close to it. We used it for over 400,000 miles and was a blast too drive.

 

I want it!!!! That is HAMBTASTIC!!!! butch/56sedandelivery.

 

This year at Famosa

 

As a kid I watched all the big-name racers show up at the Woodburn Dragstrip towing their cars in or on trailers. Ed "Ace" McCullough hauled his yellow slingshot on an open trailer with 16" wooden sideboards. Roland Leong had an enclosed trailer, towed behind a Plymouth wagon with fake wood on the sides. No transporters like nowadays.

 

just took ownership of this last week .

 

pictures of its first 2 owners

 

YOU SHOWOFF......hahaha

 

thats right !! i'm a proud father !!

 

i dont blame you!!!! My jaw hit the floor when you sent me those photos haha

 

I'm subscribed. Posting a couple pictures is on the to do list. Got to find them then scan.

 

I know it's not a drag rig but we can't ignore Don Orosco's restored Scarab/Ex-Shelby team hauler from last years GNRS.

 

Phil Burgess did a great piece on ramp trucks a month or so ago on NHRA.com. I think you can still access it...tons of photos and memories. Great work

 

Here's a couple old shots of "Mr. Chevy" on the way to the races.

 

I'll try again.


Anyway, they are on my website under pictures from "Back in the Day"

 

Also off the Drag Car topic, But Arctic Cat used this truck to haul the Boss Cat Land Speed Record Snowmobiles around in the late 60's and early 70's.

 

a few

 

Buddy has this one. He put it on the road, put a big hand winch on it, and uses it. Came out of Connecticut. Has a couple of old stock car haulers too, one '69 GMC, one about a '50 AD Chevy with a home-made bed and tire rack.

 

I've got a couple, one isn't finnished the other is later model and may be OT. Please inform me politely, if these are not suitable I'll remove them if necessary.





And next, it wasn't used regularly for race cars but my future hot rod at the time found its way home in it.

 

I love these old flat faced Fords!

 

So this must be the REAL reason for A/FX cars? So they'd fit on the hauler? Gary

 

Any chance this could be bought???

I met a guy this weekend that has a pretty neat collection of Holman-Moody stuff. He'd probably be interested in this rig.

 

lmfao

 

Here is my ramp truck, looking for any information on it...I got it out of Baltimore. Was told it was Grumpy Genkins, but can't find any proof of that. Nice truck back in the day. Lots of options.
