57 Heaven

We drive 'em.

Click here to see same page with bigger photos.

'57 150 Handyman, 3 speed Overdrive '57 210 Handyman, Rochester Fuel Injection, 3 speed Overdrive, 550,000 miles.

Yes, it really is fuel injected.

One of my daughters with her rabbit and her then ride, a 210 Del Ray, with my wife's then ride, a Bel Air hardtop. ( about 10 years ago)

My 57 ragtop, as used by "Simon and Simon". Yes, that's Rick (Gerald McRainey, and it wasn't loaded, I hope) about 1981.

And this is A.J.(Jameson Parker) and me (before gray hair) at Universal Studios, between shots. My buddy Mickey Jones(Tool Time) arranged the meeting and took the photos.

My racecar at Saugus Speedway(1986) at speed. I was not the best driver, But Kevin Shannon took it to the track while was out fishing, and set the track record with Jim Gardella driving, and took 2nd in the Street Stock Main Event.

This is what happens when the guy coming up the straight doesn't look ahead for cars stopped for a wreck.

He pushed my car into the car in front of mine.

That's racing.

My baby! We ran the Winternationals in '71 and '72 before making it back into a streeter.

Oops, where did that '55 come from. It has all the standard equipment: Chrone tube axle, 'glass nose, box tube snout. Drivetrain will have 301 with aluminum rods, Jackson Injection, Hooker Fenderwell headers, McCloud adjustable Pressure plate, Liberty crashbox Chrysler 4 speed. It has a Pontiac rearend with 5:38's, I also have 5:86's and 6:17's. After that gets boring I have a 6:71 to spice things up. I don't know if it'll be (sanctioning body) legal but we'll find out (maybe).
