Old Car pictures from the family

[Drache]

Digging through old family photos and figured I'd post any that had old vehicles:

These all feature my Uncle Abb (Grandpa's Brother)






Uncle Gordon (Grandpa's Brother):



My Grandfather's car after he rolled it. There were 6 people inside and my grandfather had the only injury, a broken elbow. The place the car crashed to this day is STILL called Jake's Elbow.


Unknown or Various Family:





Regarding Uncle Abb and the one picture of him and his Nascar (1977):



In the same newspaper as the above article, there is an article about how Vandals destroyed the Quesnel Drag strip and they never recovered from the loss and closed down forever that year.

1978:



Back in 1974, before the Nascar:

Well Kyle, I absolutely love old race car pictures. I have a weird fetish for wanting to have something that looks like the nova but drive it everyday on the street

I know the feeling. Some day I want to do the Dart up like this, even has the same number on the door!

In the first pictures it looks like 13 inch Torque Thrusts and in the magazine pictures maybe 14 inch Cragar SS? I wonder how a Dart would look with those from a profile picture?.... I wonder.... and where would you find a set of those for your Dart?

Never noticed! And they even have that black painted idea you suggested!
