That's dad sedan delivery. It was taken by mom on a Sunday afternoon at Kinston Drag Strip. I'm at the front putting that towel over those 2-4's with my younger brother on my side. I was probably showing him the "ropes" . He doesn't look too interested in his older brother telling him how to keep the dirt out of those carbs. lol. Dad is sliding those ramps in chewing on his cigar. He always had one in his mouth...especially while driving the race cars. Wonderful memories.

Re: Sedan Deliveries
 

Am I the only one that noticed the old street racers trick of using some sort of water tank behind each rear wheel so you drop water on the road and back into it for a burnout?

Knew one guy who put them in the front of the wheels, went thru the finish line sideways.......kool !

JimR

Oh, yes kiddies we didn't have water boxes back then....couldn't train the T-Rex to carry the water bowl.

Re: Sedan Deliveries
 

Jim, I was looking at that old photo when I posted it and noticed that as well...you could also have added some 'bleach' in the holding tank and do some nice smoky burnouts, an old street racers trick.

Re: Sedan Deliveries
 

Hey, jim roundtree, i use to use the same trick when i was running the "go army car" '55 chev. Back in the seventy's. Out of ft. Hood. We used two windshield washer set up over the rear tires that the driver could activate with a button !!!! No water, mixture of vht and alcohol.....worked really good if your alone at the races or if track prep sucked........after the race you better do maintenance of cleaning the system or else.....

Re: Sedan Deliveries
 

Heres a '55 that a buddy of mine picked up around '72 that had a great gasser look, with the straight axle, radiused wheel wells, the classic Cragar S/S rims, no front bumper and a killer stance. It had a mild 327, a Muncie 4 speed and 5:38gears. A diamond tucked interior throughout, a recessed license plate on the tailgate and a unique feature, a Dodge Charger gas cap on the left rear quarter. Being a heavy ride, it went 13.20s back then. I remember in '73 VW came out with a shade called Sun Bug Gold, and he painted the sedan delivery that color and it really popped. He sold it after a couple years and we lost track of it until the early '90s when it showed up at the Seattle Super Chevy Show, wearing this cool green hue. I don't know where it is today,,, somebody has probably returned it to stock appearance,, I hope not.

Now this '55 Chevy looks 'trick'...looks like it ended up with a cross ram intake on it.

Re: Sedan Deliveries
 

Danny,Did that car become the orange "Abbotts Habit" SD from the Seattle area I remember from the mid-late 70`s?

Re: Sedan Deliveries
 

Sorry Rory,, not the same rig. Jim Abbott's "Abbott's Habbot" was not a sedan delivery, and both vehicles were around at the same time.
Heres Jim running in Gas class at the Olympia All Pro series #2 event at Seattle in '74.

Re: Sedan Deliveries
 

Thanks Danny, I guess my memory is fading as the years pile up. I do reconize that 69 Mustang in the other lane. Around 1980, Jeff Whittig took me to a house in Port Orchard WA where that car was for sale, a guy named George Hadler, I believe owned it, it had been run in SS/G or H in the 70`s. It ended up as a bracket car in Bremerton , owned by a Marine, who called the car "Gunneys Toy".

Norman,

I arrived at Ft. Hood just after the Army dissolved the Team and it was a big disappointment to me. I had my '64 Max Wedge Dodge so we raced out at Little River and San Antonio while I was there.

Re: Sedan Deliveries
 

Rory,,, I know what you mean about that 'ol memory thing. Mines gone too!
Heres some shots I took of my favorite rides of George Hadler and the late Jeff Wittig:
