The Y A/SR and the flatty are right hand drives, down under maybe?

The top article has a caption about the '57 T-Bird rear end, but it is obviously a Dana, so probably a '55 or '56 Bird rear. '57s used what we call the 9 inch, but I think it was actually an 8 3/4. All the 9 inch stuff fits though.

Great add from the April 65 issue of Popular Hot Rodding.





Y powered A/Street Roadster, dig the flathead in the opposite lane.

John's correct, those headers were in the May 56 issue of Hot Rod.

More scans for your viewing pleasure.

Since the '57 wasn't mentioned in the ad, I would assume the ad was published in '56.

What year was the magazine that featured the Tbird headers?

Sorry for the quality, took pics of the posters with my phone.

Some magic hot rod stuff there, some of it must still be sitting in sheds....

Thanks for putting these up! Nice stuff.

What intrigues me is that "Barnes Stormer" car. Always knew the Nascar and the Drag Strip Y block fame, even including things like Pike's Peak. Never heard of the road race scene... wonder where that car is today. What a gem.

And the one that really gets me going, it's from the October 61 issue of HRM but the license plate says 1959 so it must of took them a couple years to get it featured. What a bad ass roadster.





A very cool dragster.
