Van- I never thought about it, can you PM your info would love to talk to you about Dads car!

It made the cover of Hot Rod magazine in 1955, it was a real whos who in the Hot Rod world that contributed to that cars build.

Same car as when Tom had it, even has the same interior in it, that Tom stitched up and installed nearly 70 years ago. Makes a little more steam from a Fritz Voight built Flat head, Fritz was Mickey Thompsons engine builder back in the day!

My DAD was friends with Tom... He has owned the car for the last 65 years!

White and Blue FOREVER!!!!!

Thanks guys for the positive encouragement, Maybe we can start a sub catagory and have full patched members with the title T T R   Tire tread reducers.....

I feel like Scotty telling Capt. Kirk...... I am giving her all I got CAPT. Maybe a little more 112 leaded to wake up the neighborhood.

Thanks Tony-Van   May the New Year bring in many Happy Times that our cars were a part of. As we get older enjoying every day is more and more important. Happy New Years to ALL!!!

I was thinking about bringing in the new year with a late night dust off and tire tread reduction, around the neighborhood. Drive em and enjoy em as they were intended. Happy New Year Everyone!!!!!

I asked my Brother in law a couple years ago , why the Hell did you spend 20k on a watch? He waited 2.5 seconds with an answer... Because I can! Good answer I told him.....

Looking for a pair, or a single or two, of some original 1967 Shelby 10 spokes. Thanks for the
consideration! Merry Christmas.

 Fifty dollars is not going to add or subtract to the advancement of the club. As the group ages they dont Drive, Race, Show, Haul their beloved cars any more. They are more interested in what the auction prices are bringing these days. Many want to return to the Golden Years that we remember from decades gone by but we cant push water back up river it is long gone. The big events draw maybe 40 cars not hundreds any more so renting out a race venue becomes cost prohibitive. So where does that leave us going forward, possibly more local regional gatherings in a WAL MART parking lot or similar. This Venue just leaves an outlet to Piss and Moan about the economy, government, families , Grocery prices, individuals, and on and on. As the Holidays are on us lets try to focus on the cars, parts and history we so love about our pride and joy! Happy Holidays!!!

OK Im in..... Tom Medleys coupe from Hot rod magazine... editor, photographer cartoonist. Street racer, record holder OG Hot Rodder from the 40s-50s

I seriously looked into running twin Paxtons on my car. Cobra automotive had the Paxtons , custom engine plate, and related hardware. To say they were expensive would be an understatement, and the gain was just not worth it. Sure it would have the wow factor but not the go factor, the goal was to run the vintage parts like they might have back in the day!
