Tony Nancy getting a splash of pop. Not enough for a full tilt run on the juice, maybe he just wanted to add some crackle to a tank full of alky...


The chunky gentleman on the right is master panel beater Wayne Ewing, who probably did the work on the nose of this hot rod...

 

2012? That has 1970s written all over it. Look at the hair, clothes and car. Check out the clothes on the kids on the sidewalk.

What the hell is that?

 

George, I was not familiar with Wayne Ewing & I googled him. He built a lot of neat race cars, but I believe this picture is Lou Bany and Lou Senter of Ansen Automotive. I've got that magazine buried in my archives, god knows how long it would take me to find it.

UX7639 is a New Zealand plate issued in 1997. Still live and registered to a 1940 Ford pickup which has had its plate changed to FTE58. https://www.carjam.co.nz/car/?plate=ux7639

The solid rubber trucks were extremely limited in speed. Here is a later model AC Mack with pneumatic tires that my grandfather bought from the feds. It had been used by bootleggers.

Yeah ! We don't feel like hunting for it
