    Yeah, looks like they used the armco rails to "guide" a car through the doorway if it were fish tailing like that '63 Plymouth appears to be starting to (though he's looking over his left shoulder, so maybe something else is going on). I'll bet the sound reverberations were wicked too.

    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.

    This is a tad bit off topic, but has the name "FUJIMO" ever crossed your path?

    No, not at all. Many moons ago, around 59-60, there was a drag racing team from St. Louis, maybe East St. Louis, and the name of the car was "Fujimo". Lower class maybe B or C dragster, my memory is not that good. Anyway, just wondered if you had ever run across it.
