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.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.

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.

No wasn't into anything much unless it went in circles. I was pretty fascinated with Danny Millers Maverick bodied funny car when he would come visit the 3 gals that lived across the street from my parents house. I'm a thinkin that car was called "Plastic Fantastic" ???? Think I was about 15 or 16 and those 3 gals where probally more interesting than the car at the time ! Originally Posted by NTFDAY
