Proposal for Old Cars in Stock

Ah, Hudsons! You now have the first "Crate Motor Stocker". Ike Smith built 4 Hudson Jets (small compact car 2800#), and convinced "Farmer" it was and option, only to find that they set the firewall back 4 inches to get a 308 cu in, dual carbed motor and Hydramatic in to J/ Stock. This caused my Falcon to be uncompetitive for over two years. So you see there is precedence for whats going down. A couple of "names" had them and did real well with them, also. Ah, history.

P.S. I forgot to add this was about 1963/1964 or so.
