When I was a kid of 14 (1956), my father took me over to one of his friend's house to see a '40 Chevy Coupe. It was black and looked stock, much like this '38, but when he raised the hood, I was knocked out. I can't remember what 6-cylinder motor it was, although it excites me to think that maybe it was a GMC 302. Anyway, It had a GMC 6-71 blower mounted with 5 (yeah, five) Stromberg 97's on a log manifold. Not since that day have I seen another motor that impressed me as much.
