transporters and haulers in the unusual variety





Just love this above track racer on the flatbed from the 20's

If any car enthusiast were to see this transporter driving by they'd have a heart attack

Looks like a 1938 COE hauling that trailer

What are those on the trailer? Nash or Hudson?

Lowrider old Mopars from the 30's and 40's at the Cruise for the Cause
















This one is owned by an 18 year old guy! I bet it's the coolest car in his high school class

just how fast was a stock hemi Plymouth Satellite?


Or maybe the speed record was 164 mph, depends on the source of info
Just how stock was it? A hemi, yeah, they wouldn't have super tuned that on a dyno, upgraded the guts a little? Dropped to the tallest highway gears available in a 8 3/4 or Dana 60 which were 2.93 and 3.23... maybe aluminum panels? Headers? Hell, I can see the roll cage, so it was prepped for the salt high speed.
Well, how about that, a little diggin around on the internet turns up that is was a prototype Satellite, the first street hemi to be installed, with special fuel injection ste ups and dry sumps, and the project was shepherded by Peter Dawson a Chrysler factory engineer who shared a garage with Tom Hoover (father of the 426 hemi) and a variety of rear axle ratios were brought along, http://www.moparmagazine.com/2009/may_june/grassroots_engineering
