I enjoy seeing how creative these guys were back then. One thing is for sure they weren't big on safety back then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Some of those early dragsters make me want to go hide in a closet, especially the three-wheelers. It was all about speed, safety be-damned. Love those pictures., saw a couple of ideas of how I could use some leftover parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use to belong to the Miniature Railroad Club of York, PA, which is right beside the former garage of Dave Strickler, owner and driver of the Old Reliable cars. Some of the old rr club members recounted the story of one night, the gang hanging out in Strickler's garage, in a drunken fit, rolled the car across the street to a vacant lot, poured gas on it, and lit it up. Apparently, the car was sitting in the driveway of the garage unused and for sale. With no buyers, after awhile, they got tired of looking at it. At least that's the story I was told many years ago. BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH shame. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 How drunk do you have to be to set fire to any car let alone one you have so much blood sweat and I'm sure a good bit of money into to set fire to it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
