DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I never knew that gastank was all one word!

I don't love the modern Hot Rod thing, but I've always loved that picture. It sums up American grass roots motorsport back then. Thanks Keith. W

The guy waving is.... Dan Gurney!

Sorry my ocd will not let that go uncaptioned:

"Riverside, California, August 20 1950. The Skip Hudson (at right with white cap) and Dan Gurney (wearing a 'Snuffy Smith' hat, a grubby T-shirt and waving to the photographer) Bonneville entry: a '29 A V8 entered in C Modified Roadster class. Their entourage was about ready to start the tiring trek from Riverside to Wendover, Utah, about 700 miles north of home. They had worked nearly round the clock to get the car ready, and there would be little relaxation the rest of the week, as they would discover that running Bonneville, while exhilarating, is an endurance contest."

Such a far cry from the over restored cheesy posing type Hot Rods of today......W

You have to admire how it takes a variety of pretty well-proportioned volumes and sticks them together to look so gawky.
