Nostalgia drags from way back

Great stuff Dave. The Flying Carpet certainly lived up to it's name. Don't know why, but Grumpy Jenkins climbing out of his car with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth made me laugh.

 
Don Bowles' Mustang.....that's Jack Roush in the yellow coat by the windshield.

By today's standards that looks like a 4 wheel drive...relative to ride ht.

I watched that car run at Columbus (Spring Nationals )in Mid/late 70's Lem. Him and I talked about it at the Tech Seminar. A piece of History for sure. 

For those of you that love the old Nostalgia cars,you are missing out by not going to one of the hot Rod Reunions. Its like goin back in time.

Hey Rick of what I saw from Dan H photo looks like you might have missed some of it   

You have ALOT to learn about Hobbs my friend.  

Very cool ! Sometimes I wish I had been 16 or so in those days!

Great video ! Thank you.

Those really were the days. Old farts like me and Rick and Lem got hooked by that kind of stuff. I don't know what was cooler...the cars in that video or the old gassers (ala Stone, Woods & Cook).   It's probably a good thing that those tires didn't hook better...those jacked up cars would've spent more time on their roofs. 

In the late 60's, my weapon of choice (translation: what I could afford) was a really ugly '62 Fairlane (sleeper:sleep: ). Jeez, did I ever break a heap of parts with that turd!

Whats really crazy is back in the mid 70's Harold Stout was Campaigning Bob Gliddens old 64 Tbolts in SS/C and it was National record holder at 10.40's. He was at Trails (spring nationals). The car had a FS sign in the window. I ask him what the asking price was. He said 10k. I thought W0W,what a rediculous price. But,that was a lifes savings back then. If we only knew.
