This March 1956 shot taken at Santa Ana shows members of the Drifters Car Club of Redondo Beach surrounding their gutted ’35 Ford 5-window sedan. The fastest speed we have on the car when powered with an Edelbrock equipped flattie was 122.40 mph on September 19th of that year. In November ’57 they stepped up and installed a Chrysler and first time out were timed at 117.19 mph.
