I think from the amount of interest shown in these old cars it might be time for me to think about writing another story about jalopy racing. lol.
If you want to know what George and I came up with, try imagining a 1928 Model 'A' - stripped to the frame and running gear, then add a 1925 roadster body - no fenders, no bumpers, no roll cage. Tires and wheels were from an old pickup truck and if you touched wheels with another car while racing you were going for one very wild ride!
I think back on those days and have no trouble at all realizing why our mothers hated that thing! lol.
