"Lil Ole Blue II" A/G Anglia. Sorry, I don't know who ran this car. |
|
From Bobby Davis: The "Old Blue II" Anglia
Gasser is Eldon Huffman from Louisville KY. This car was later sold to a
group in Louisville who crashed and destroyed the car. |
 |
Another unknown (to me) Gasser is this Austin. Name on the door is
Ed K..... Any ideas? Hey, at least we know he ran a "Hydro by
Kise"! |
 |
Barb Hamilton (with red scarf) behind her C/GS Willys. |
 |
 |
C/Gas Willys...no idea who. |
 |
The "Eastern Shaker" out of Eastern Automotive from NY |
 |
Flora & Graham Anglia |
 |
The "Grocery Getter" B/G Tempest wagon |
|
From Dave
Sorenson: The “Grocery Getter” was “Farmer” Arnie Beswick’s early
effort in the gas classes, before he went to funny cars. [I thought
so too, but wasn't sure enough of my memory to mention it. Byron] |
 |
The Grove Boys C/G "Gladiator" Willys |
 |
Okay, I know it says BB/A and I suppose I should have put Hamberis &
Mitchell's "Wild Mouse" Willys in with the Altereds, but c'mon...it's Mike
Mitchell! |
 |
Not sure if this is a Gasser or not. Preston Honea's (earlier of
"Hemi-Marlin" fame) "Executioner" Dart sports a glass flip front end and a
tube axle. |
 |
"Jeg's & Jeg's" AA/GS Austin |
|
From Dave Sorenson:
I am assuming that the “Jeg and Jeg” Austin was Jeg Coughlin’s, because
Coughlin did run an Austin AA/GS with a blown 392 (wonder who the other
Jeg is, though). [Yeah, me too. Byron] |
 |
Nice looking C/G Willys pickup with what looks like "Joe Tonton" on the
door. |
 |
Keith Ferrell's "Dogcatcher" 33 Willys Panel running BB/A for the
Nationals. |
 |
Lee Bros A/GS Willys sponsored by Midwest Auto Parts. (Hmmm, wonder
if the Modified Sports roadster shown elsewhere is also the Lee Bros?) |
 |
The "See Eyes Gone" B/G Willys of Gerald Nix and David Green. |
 |
Ohio George. What more can I say? |
 |
"Outhouse Engineering" D/G 55 Chevy |
 |
Perrin & H... Tough to read the second name, but a pretty cool pair
of cars, nonetheless! |
 |
"The Bootlegger" B/G Anglia of Augie Porrega and Chuck Arundale out of New
Jersey. |
 |
Rockman & Halgrimoon 57 Chevy D/G |
 |
S&K Speed, Inc. B/G Anglia. |
 |
Another B/G Anglia, this one out of S&W Speed Shop from Spring City, PA. |
 |
The gorgeous Stolz & Velasquez A/GS Willys |
