This was always a favorite of mine from my first HotRod mag, March '59 and the guy has red hair. Totally opposite of Grabowski's T, but neat.

All I know is that it was famous in the late 30s and post war years. It was called skip it.

 

George Rubsch's Skipit. Very well known at the lakes, had several paint jobs but best known for the early flame job.

I think that guy sitting in that #38 in the second picture didn't get hurt, he was pretty lucky. That cage didn't hold up so well. Gene

I remember reading and article in an old magazine that Pontiac didn't want to win races but wanted to be the car you saw in the racetrack parking lot. Judging from the photo, they succeed . The Grand Prix was a very expensive car, new, they went for $4500-$5500.. I remember having the original receipt from my 64 Grand Prix and it sold for $5600 new. It did have all the options except for AC.. The 421 ran nicely..

 

Does Axle no about this photo?
