PLY, at the beginning, and then, later, gets walked by a Chubbie. Then, that badass 62 PLY Super Stock walks an F-word Thunderbolt, after getting caught sleeping at the 'light'! The Olde Vette was wicked fast, too. | ||

Expert Posts: 1211 ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Ponder, TX | Push car...or he has yet to remove his hubcaps. There was a sixty-something New Yorker that ran at SIR a few years ago that was street driven, stock appearing, and very quietly ran it the mid-12s. That type of sleeper has always been my favorite, especially when they beat up on the ostentatiously modified cars. | ||

Expert Posts: 4654 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Doctor DeSoto - 2014-03-09 1:55 AM Or is it a push car ? Usually you had to remove your hubcaps if you wanted to race, although he could be doing double duty as a push car for someone also. It probably isn't a hi-po car, but he might just want to race in his own lower class. | ||

Posts: 19146 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: bishop, ca | You never know where a FWDLK'er will show its pretty rear end. This is from the 9/64 Hot Rod, and it shows a rare-now 57+ Chrysler stripper wagon (on the strip). As this thread evolves (or is that: devolves) from the 'old photos' thread, I'll go post this photo, there, to preserve the moment. Note that the observer is standing by a car that may well have surrendered its own engine to the 'cause' of racing, sometime in the future. The engine, in Jack Williams' rail, is described only as being a 392 (from something of the 57-58 variety). And, note that the observer is either stone deaf (or soon will be).

Posts: 19146 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: bishop, ca | Well, yaknow, I wondered about that chrome strip running along the top of the fin; that's a Plymmie designator? Unsure about the bumper-end, too...but was recalling a certain moovee with a certain blonde actress and a stripper CHY wagon in it. This is the entirety of the photo. That observer is NOT even reacting to the sound of that rail taking off! Edited by d500neil 2014-05-25 4:26 PM | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Parts Unknown | I have no idea if that is a Chrysler or a Plymouth. Just wondering if there was another shot or something that we weren't seeing that gave it away. Since 1000+ Plymouth wagons were built for every Chrysler wagon produced, odds are against it being a Chrysler. But you never know ! ![]() | ||
