8 x 10 press photo of the vehicle involved in a tragic accident that killed 7 people in Saginaw, Michigan. This photo is in good condition with any imperfections due to age and/or editing by the original handler.



This wreck reminds me of Patsy clines near fatal carcrash in the movie "SWEET DREAMS"

....For the record, I did not ask Sir Clive to post these Evilpay-auctions' pics to this thread.

However, they do serve as being suitable precautionary tales, about the unintended consequences of Street-racing.

B/G 61 - 2010-03-22 5:52 PM Awesome pic ! I thought that square Chrysler/Plymouth logo on the door didn't come out till the 70's ????
I may be wrong but I believe I have seen the pentastar symbol used as far back as 1964 or 1965 in advertising
I think the pentastar came out in '62 - I thought the square logo posted a few back was the 70's ad version . . . I'm told no, but if it didn't start in the 70's, it sure lasted a long time - I remember that square deal into the 80's . . . I was thinking that the pentastar came out right when the forward look series of cars ended,but wasnt sure about the precise date so thanks for clearing that up! Which one is the "square" emblem? I was looking at the station wagon at the top of the post,but it has a Pentastar on it. I never liked the Pentastar symbol,I wish they would have kept the forward look boomerangs....and the forward look style too!
:laugh:

 

Pentastar came out in '63, it's on all right fenders through '72.

I have seen that rectangular blue/white Chrysler/Plymouth logo in pics as early as late '65.

Sorry about drudging this up, but I just saw this part of the thread.

Youre right, Steve. Here's the original. I cant figure out why they didnt use a sedan when they added posts to the hardtop anyway. And didnt the hardtop have the heavier ragtop sub-structures that would have slowed the car? Really cool car, I like it much more than Christine cars, very unique.

Hello Forward Lookers, Tim in Golden here and I am in the 4th season of racing my 4500lb 56 New Yorker coupe at Bandimere Dragstrip in Morrison Colorado. I started to race it totally stock and it was completely original the first year. The same car I drove to Tulsarama. The engine still has its original pistons. Best original time was 18:48 @76 mph. I won 14 rounds in my first season of our Street ET Series and I had not raced in almost 30 years. For me there is nothing cooler than drag racing a "stock" fifties car. And sure some might think OMG he's tearing it up but the car actually runs better than ever. I now have well over 100 runs with no issues. And for those unaware the altitude here is over 5k and density is usually over 7k and that costs at least a second over sea level. I now shift my original powerflite at 1000' and run over 81mph. I have added a 55 300c carb set up and Racer Brown 485 lift cam with the 2 1/2" truck exhaust manifolds . Last year I ran the entire 1/4 in low gear and went 79 MPH! With no stall converter I lost a half second ET... but gained 5mph. Best this year so far 19.12 @ 81 mph. I know this sounds slow but I need a rear gear change to run the 1/4 maybe a 5:13. Right now the car has a huge top end. My 60' time is in the 3.4 second range, crazy slow. Next stop 15 second New Yorker.

Had a guy contact me today. Wants to buy the 56 Dodge wagon to restore as a tow rig
for his 55 Plymouth gasser that is nearing completion. He said it is a recreation of one he
raced back in the 50's. He promised pix when it gets paint in a few weeks.

What does a 60 Plymouth 2S weigh in at ? I would be they are about the
best possible FL drag car.

And they look so "right" in drag paint / gear.

In Hemidave's photo, above here, that's Dick Joslin's ride, a "1957 Dodge"---probably a D500, but not known or
ever described as being a D501---in the Daytona pits, for the 2/23/58 Grand National race.

The car belonged to Doc White.

The car qualified in 29th place (out of 49 starters) and finished in 43rd place, retiring from a "hose" problem, on the 6th lap.

The last 9 finishers got zero money, for their efforts, and the 31st thru 40th placers got $25.00 each.

The 26-30th finishers got $50bux each; 18-20 got $75.00; 17: $80.00; 16 : $90; and 14-15 got $100bux... The winner received $4,550.00,
a 58 Poncho driven by Paul Goldsmith, owned by MR. Smokey Yunick.

HAD to love to race, back then!

Cause you sure didn't do it for the money---unless you were a consistent top-ten finisher.
