:devil: Every time I see one of them, I think of Hank Lauderbach's Anglia with a cammed up SBC and a power slide in it, he drove it from the back seat almost......Hank was a son of the founder of Lauderbach Marine, makers of jet drives for high performance boats/racing gear.....

So Hank had this auto shop and finished with a customer's car one evening, called the man up and pulled it out of the garage and into the street outside....went back in to mess with the Anglia, Powerslide goes into reverse, car takes off like mad right into the side of customer's car......

Hank calls customer back and said there was some confusion and in fact parts were on order for his car, it was another customer that was ready.....

just caught the man in time, so Hank gets to work 3 days straight fixing the guy's car........:devil::crutches:
 
Still Happening around here. :D

:D Back about '67 or so, my father had an insurance agency, and one of the clients owned a concrete contracting/construction business, and so they ran a gasser at the drags, so my father wound up insuring a DRAG CAR.....

it was called The Granny Mobile, with a logo of a old lady in a wheel chair burning rubber off the wheels......the owner was named John Grainey, Grainey concrete underneath the car logo....:clap:
 
my dad raced in that era at Lions drag - he and his friend both ran 37 Chev coupes. My dad still has his motor (hillborn injected, 390ci Buick).... I've actually seen his partner's car - it still runs around S. Cal. (Dark blue 37 Coupe).
 
That Stone,Woods & Cook car in the back of that picture is setting at the NHRA Museum in Pomona, Ca..
