\nThe “No. Wash.” (Northern Washington) Special Number II Class O Lakester made an appearance at Bonneville Speedweek in August 1953 according to this picture and a listing in the Program. The mini belly-tank out of Tacoma was powered by a small 60” Evenrude outboard engine. Sadly we don’t find anything listed in the results on the car ever running. Car number 37, the Jerauld-Barber tank powered by a V8-60 ran in the same class and was timed at a whopping 123.11 mph. Did this speed dissuade the car owners from even making a run? Dig the ’48 Packard Custom 8 fastback tow-car.

\nThis one-off Kurtis-Kraft special was a collaboration between Meyer and Drake and Frank Kurtis. The lightweight car was based on a stretched Kurtis midget chassis and originally featured a supercharged Offy midget powerplant. Seems the competition didn’t like the idea of running against a house car after it won a couple of races and it was soon sold to Murrell Bellanger. Bellanger with Lee Wallard driving went on to win the ’51 500 in the car. This is probably a ’52 shot, as the car is at Indy and is running as number 99 with Bettenhausen as the driver. Tony would crash the car in practice. Note it’s running a different grill shell with vents in it and a different shaped grill insert. This car was the most successful Kurtis built big car ever, winning a total of 16 AAA Champ Car races.

\nHarley Earl at General Motors took the dry-lakes belly-tank styling to the next level with the Firebird I Show Car. It was powered by a Gas Turbine and was a real hit at the early GM Motoramas. We see the car with Indy Winner Mauri Rose at Daytona Beach where the car did some demo runs in the mid ’50s.

\nThis 1957 Bonneville shot shows the number 141 Perry Boys Class B Roadster out of Los Angeles. They had set the class record at 168.797 mph back in ’56 and were hoping to up it. They ended up running a slower 168.61 mph with their 241” Dodge powered beauty to grab first in class but went home empty-handed. In the background is Clarence Everett’s ’40 Ford that ran in Class D Gas Coupe and Sedan. The car was powered by a supercharged 258” Studebaker. He ran 7th in class at a speed of 128.20 mph.

\nA typical Bonneville pit setup back in 1958. Car number 94 on the right is the Class D Gas Roadster of Hildebrant Mfg. and Speed Equipment. It was powered by a 353” Chrysler and was after the ’56 record of 153.910 mph. The car ran 152.54 mph and had to settle for a fifth in class. Partially hidden is the Number 204 Class D Competition Coupe and Sedan that started life as a Bantam before it had a 343” Chrysler stuck in the cab and the driver moved forward. It ran as the Eelco Special and was after the ’55 Chrisman Brothers record of 190.839 mph. It ran 172.74 mph for a first in class but was way off the record.

\nThe engine bay of Ak Miller's new bullet nosed Class B and C Modified Roadster is seen in early 1951 in the alley behind his house during a shoot by Tom Medley. This shot was used as reference for illustrator Rex Burnett when he did one of his famous cutaway drawings of the car. At Bonneville in August the 1560 pound car was entered as the Miller & Tailor ride and ran 161.870 mph for a first in Class B powered by a 248\" Merc. They also set a new class record at 158.277 mph. After a motor and class switch to C the car went out and ran 172.744 mph for another first in class and also grabbed the class record with a speed of 172.043 mph. This time they used a 309\" Merc for power. Note the Champion heads, Evans intake manifold, flex tubing headers and swing axle rear end setup.

\nWayne Bransteder bought one of 166,426 Bel Air Sports Hardtop Coupe brand new off the showroom floor back in 1957 for the sum of $2,299.
\n
\nIt was initially powered by a 270hp 283” V8 but this was replaced with David Ichikawa’s 1\/2” stroker with 1\/8” overbore 350” out of his Altered Coupe, after the original stroker crank destroyed itself. Nick Arias rebuilt the engine before the installation and Hal Stoddard became the tuner on the car.
\n
\nWayne regularly street raced it and could usually be found at Bob’s Big Boy, Vandicamps, The Wichstand and Scribner’s drive-ins. At the track, like this ’58 shot at San Fernando, the car usually ran in the 110-112 range.

\nThe best of hot rodding and sports cars can be wrapped up with this shot taken at Palm Springs back in 1953. The two day March event consisted of seven races. This one is the 24 lap, 48 mile Sunday Feature Race for over 1.5-liter rides. We see Jack McAfee in his 4.1 liter Ferrari 340 America chassis number 0032MT leading Bill Stroppe in his short wheelbase Kurtis Kraft 500S that was powered by a hopped up Mercury flathead. Seems Mr. McAfee ruled the day and came in first followed by two other Ferrari’s and a mix of Allard's, a Jag, a Veritas and yes the Kurtis.

\nPhil Walters is seen in the Cunningham C5R chassis number 5319R during the November 8, 1953, Orange Empire National Sports Car Races held at March Air Force Base, California. Yep, that’s a B-47 Stratojet Bomber on the right. This was Race 4 of the day, a 175-mile jaunt for Modified cars over 1500cc’s. Thirty-six starters took the flag and 27 cars finished. Phil made it to lap 12 when low oil pressure reared its head and the car was withdrawn. He was credited with a DNF and a 19th finishing position. Teammate John Fitch went on to win the race in his Class B Modified Cunningham C4R after thrashing it for one hour 59 minutes and 50 seconds followed home by team owner Briggs Cunningham in another C4R. If you were a kid growing up in the ’50s a Dinky Toy replica of the Cunningham was a must. If I remember right it cost something like a buck and a half and required about an hour’s bicycle ride to and from to get it home. Seems it always won the race on the dirt track under the tree in the backyard before it went the way of all used up toys, the trash. Just checked on e-bay and a good example with a box will only set you back $100.

\nThis nicely chopped '34 Ford 5-window coupe is seen at a Cal-Neva Timing event in '51 most likely in Nevada sporting a '40 Olds bumper with a single bumper guard off another vehicle. Note the plate topper reads Berkley, California, the alma mater of racing scribe and historian Griffith Borgeson, the home of the Ruckstell 2-speed rear ends for Fords, Macaulay Foundry that cast the blocks for Miller, Offenhauser, and Meyer Drake engines, and the home of Hall-Scott Motor Car Company, the most significant engine builder in the United States before WWI.

\nInside look at the C&T built Ardun-Merc in the ’54 Bonneville Class C Lakester entry of Bequette and Scoville. Check out the home-made fuel injection unit. The Sherman Oaks-based tank ran a best of 170.13 mph and had to settle for a third in class way shy of the ’52 record set by Brown and Hooper’s Chrysler powered ride at 197.88 mph. Meanwhile, the Neumayer-Reed Bros. tank with Ardun power blew away the record with a qualifying run at 215.18 mph then upped the record to 205.71 mph.

\nThis is the number 177 Chrisman Brothers-Duncan entry seen at Bonneville in 1954 during Speedweek. The Ford-powered Class C Roadster featured a ’29 body fitted to Deuce rails that was after the 1953 record set by the team of Barlow-Hadley at 163.935 mph. The best the team could do was qualify for a record assault with a first in class of 174.16 mph. They couldn’t put together two runs to capture the record.

\nThis roadster was a real head-turner at Bonneville in 1951. The car was built at Gil’s Auto Body and Gil had entered it and his own Custom that year. Much digging revealed the number 617 car was entered by Gil under the name of Edison Dye from LaMesa, California and ran in Class C Modified Roadster. We have it turning a respectable 127.659 mph for a 24th in class of 31 entries. Fast car in the class was the Miller and Taylor entry at 172.744 mph. Behind it is the number 210 Class B Modified Roadster of Kostiw & Jackson from Altadena, California that ran 137.404 mph for an eighth in class.

\nThis slightly used ’37-’38 Willys Coupe was the post entry at Bonneville in 1955 of Doug Hartelt, Glenn Minder and C. J. Hart, so we have no real info about the powerplant under the hood but suspect it was a Hartelt Chrysler. The Class E Coupe and Sedan record was set in ’54 by Bruce Crower at 151.95 mph, so the Santa Ana Boys were quite happy when they finished first in class with a speed of 156.52 mph. They were even happier when they proceeded to up the class record to 156.656 mph. Today we’d call the tape job streamlining but at the time it was A-OK. The car also ran at Hart's Santa Ana Drag Strip in the 120 mph range.
