Folks Of Interest The danville dukes ?

Oh God yes!! I didnt know you meant in general..

 

The Dukes were always second to the Temple Turks ( That was a LONG time ago )

 

Glad that its still driven,first time I saw it was in the 90s when he drove it up to Salem Oregon for a goodguys event (Rod & Custom Classic).cool guy and bitchin car......it desreves to end up in the "Peterson" when its retired......

 

I have to agree. He doesn't even own a car newer than 1972! I don't know of ANY person who drives old cars more than he does. He drives to most Goodguys events, cruises while he's there and then drives home! Not to mention driving one to the office every day.

 

I stand corrected. Spelling and all.
Gary Not that one!

 

Im shocked,!!.... that he would do such a thing! I will put him in time out next time I visit him. or maybe take away his HotRod for a week.
Damm Old Timers.

 

Lol!!!!

 

I like tying people/cars/history together with my 50s-present magazines. If you are an astute reader, the same names keep surfacing over the years with different cars. Many of these names are folks mentioned in this thread.

 

That's cool, but the coolest part is that a lot of these people are still around and are happy to share their knowledge and experience with the next generation of rodders.

 

Well put KIRK! and of course totally correct.
