Thanks Kurt.
That red, white and blue jet car at about 3:24 looks like the Valkyrie that Bill Frederick built (though it looks to be renamed for exhibition runs). I first saw the car under construction in a normal tract house two car garage on my paper route in 1961. The first thing that caught my eye was a couple barrels full of jet engines sitting in this guy's driveway. Over the period of a few months the chassis started to form in the garage bay. A humorous note was when he cut a chunk out of the overhead door so that it would clear the nose as the car was longer than the space in the garage.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
In our neighborhood, 2 blocks down the hill was a gas station that (to me) all the cool car guys hung out there. 32 coupes, 33 & 34 Fords as well, a sweet 56 Ford Beach wagon that was setup gasser...
How did you get hooked on cars?
