This car looks very unusual in that it doesn't appeared to be channeled at all, plus it has bobbed fenders. Like most of the cars in this film, it has Moon Discs...which is cool.  |

This car was owned by a local farmer and drag racer named John Mulkey, who won the B Street Roadster class with it at the 1958 NHRA Nationals. It ran a small block Chevy massaged to 302 cubic inches, and ran 105.5 mph in the quarter mile (it seems like early hot rodders focused more on trap speed than elapsed time). The car may still exist; it's not clear. Some period pictures of it here: Link to "www.jalopyjournal.com" |
