From the Hemmings Nation Flickr pool – shorty Cad, more night photography and another AMC dealership

| четверг, 6 августа 2009 г.

shorty (and longy) Cadillac

We’re constantly amazed at what shows up in the Hemmings Nation Flickr pool, and in the last few weeks, Hemmings Nation members have dropped some mightily noteworthy pics into the pool. We’ll start with papfiesta’s “backseat driver,” a mid-1960s Cadillac with a shortened passenger area, but a lengthened hood. Can we correctly call this a shorty?

Summit Garage nighttime photo

Troy Paiva continues to show off his nighttime junkyard photography in the pool, but one of his latest shots, of the Summit Garage in Altamont, California, intrigued me. As Troy noted, the garage is still there, and from the looks of it on Google Maps, still operating.

Ford B-100

Ever seen a ‘78 Ford B-100? Unless you’ve traveled extensively in Mexico, probably not. Hugo90 continues to surprise us with foreign variations on vehicles we never knew existed.

Morrice and Heyse

Finally, trekie83 shot a series of photos of the old Morrice and Heyse Motors AMC dealership in Barrington, Illinois, full of classic cars, mostly Nashes and AMCs. Yes, it’s on the 1983 AMC dealership list. Looks like we oughta stop by there sometime if we’re ever out that way.

If you know about Midwest drag racing, you also know it was the happy hunting ground for Gasser action in the 1960. The heartland also had its helping of drag Altereds, though rarely as wild as this. In response to Mr. Strohl’s discovery of the Pro Mod body buck, we offer this, from the collection of Henderson, Nevada, resident Ed Rachanski, who raced the Marauder series of A/FX Comets out of Chicago during the same era.

This blower-bedecked nutcase is the BB/A Crosley known as the Blue Goose, raced by Peterson, Bowman and Steele of Ann Arbor, Michigan. It’s insane. The car was photographed by Barbara Riley at Milan Dragway in Michigan circa 1966. The classification indicated its blown big-block Chevy was fueled by methanol.
