Expert Posts: 2002 Location: Branson, MO | Ray Bell - 2017-07-07 4:04 AM Lo and behold... Thanks Ray (and for the grammar/spelling correction too). Just a little side note: The folks in the picture that impersonate Harry and Bess actually do this quite often in the area for various functions. "Bess" was the president of the AACA in Kansas City at the time. Edited by Viper Guy 2017-07-07 11:56 AM | ||

But in the 1950's and '60's, Quincy Automotive was THE place to get speed equipment or to even get your hotrod built. Quincy's was (on Wiltshire Blvd) in Santa Monica, California. This '32 Roadster is a car built by Bill Cox, owner of Quincy's (his middle name might have been Quincy). Quincy was also the place to go to get your car club plaques made. Quincy also sponsored many drag race, dry lakes and Bonneville cars. Here's one that I am very familiar with." "Mickey Brown was the driver of this crank driven blown Olds digger. Mickey died in this car at Lions. The car went off the track right off the starting line (no guard rails in those days) and flipped several times, and Mickey's head came between the ground and the roll bar and that was all she wrote. Very tragic as I was standing next to Mickey's wife on the starting line and had to hold her back. " Tragic.

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9855 Location: Lower Mainland BC | Viper Guy - 2017-07-30 9:49 AM Why ruin perfectly good looking stock '58 Plymouth front end? YUK! LOL. I was just thinking that "Custom" = uglifying, thinking that they (the perpetrators of the customization) are better designers than the factory design team. Maybe but certainly not in this case. The bumper and grill are too Soviet Union for me and the headlights, well, they are just ugly. | ||
Doctor DeSoto |

Location: Parts Unknown | Wow, you got that right ! It would be a hard nut to crack to improve the 58 Plymouth design in any way at all. That attempt is everything you say ... Soviet level creative and pure ugly. Wow. Back in my college days, friends and I haunted record stores in the University District. At some point our conversation turned to why the employees at these shops, with such great music all around them, CHOSE to play albums of chimpazees beating on car hoods or children being tortured while another kid makes random noise on a flute ? So, next time in town, we asked the various employees .... The unanimous answer was boredom. They had heard it all and preferred listening to bending metal and fingernails on a chalkboard than one more spin of Freebird. I suspect it was something similar with many car customizers ... do something different, just to be different. Good results or bad, At least it is different. | ||

Expert Posts: 2473 Location: Dalveen, Queensland, Australia | With regard to the headlight treatment... In that era there were several Formula 1 cars out of Italy with similar treatment to their noses. This followed through to 1962, Ferrari being notable with both their F1 cars and their Le Mans cars being made that way. But I think there was a Maserati used it first.
