Here's a fun movie from 1956, very campy, Chuck Connors and Frank "the Riddler" Gorshin. You can see a Y-Block powered T-Bird bet a Jag in the opening credits.  Enjoy! http://www.archive.org/details/HotRodGirl

Frank Gorshin was seen in alot of these old "Hot Rod" films. Another one that comes to mind is Drag Strip Girl. These old films are fun to watch. I also like Robert Mitchum in Thunder Road. If your into old TV shows I always enjoyed this episode of Adam 12 when the boys end up at the Drag Strip and Officer Jim Reed races his '54? Ford. The Drag Strip is the now defunct Lions Drag Strip in Wilmington, CA (Moto "Drive the highways, Race at Lions".) where I spent much of my youth. This is the Adam 12 Episode. http://www.hulu.com/watch/46171/adam-12-who-wonYou Chevy lovers among us should enjoy the ending... Didn't mean to steal your post, Tim. You just brought back some fond memories and thought I would share.

If you look on blockbuster you can find several old hot rod movies. Rent them and copy them.

I remember years ago Frank Gorshin doing I believe a T.V. Ad, where he imitated back to back, Bert Lancaster & Kurt Douglas. Clever & funny..

Moz, Sorry you can't see the Adam-12 episode. I tried sending it to a mate in Australia and he said the same thing. What I liked about this episode is that Reed and McCoy were trying to get the street racers off the streets and race at the drag strip. Lions Drag Strip was started by the Lions Club International for that same reason, hence the motto; "Drive the Highways, Race at Lions". Mickey Thompson was one of the early managers of Lions.

I also remember that Adam 12 episode. The "54 Ford in it, belonged to FE "ace" Ted Wells. He went on to race a super stock `67 427 Fairlane. Ted passed away 7 years ago and the family sold the car to a fella in Michigan. He left it lettered the same way Ted had it as a tribute. He comes to Columbus every year, I got to run the guy this year in the first round of the bracket 2 race. (lost a double brakeout) It was cool going over the finish line watching Ted Well`s Fairlane in the other lane. I don`t suppose any body got a picture?
