1955 stock race car (Grand National series) of Tim Flock, a Chrysler 300, worlds fastest stock sedan at 130 mph... when Nascar meant stock car

what redneck hillbilly shadetree mechanic left a metric wrench on the alternator?

Oh yeah, like Retro Hound Robert pointed out, what the hell is a metric wrench doing on a Mopar? I noticed that too, but forgot in the months since I took this photo

in the same car, this well squared mexican blanket. Though perfectly placed, these don't belong in muscle cars! Rat rods and hot rods, yes. Not MOPARS! 

Great jacket, too bad no one wears patch jackets anymore, us former Navy guys dig 'em

Hockey Stripes, love 'em

Station wagons, why were they popular once, but no longer?

 Astrophonic... really? Who was supposed to be extra impressed with "Astrophonic"?

don't stop and stare, because it's horrible to see, but the cause of the noise and the smoke screen Batman would proudly call his own... was a 426 Max Wedge hidden in a 4 dr '63 Savoy POS

 People turned to see what the hell was going on, I can spot 5 in the above photo looking at the car

 then they moved it over here, and finally turned it off. Not a good way to sell an engine, all the smoke.. but a good attention getter. Pissed off all the people who were sitting near that red Road Runner though, they were gassed and fumigated. Not pleasant

 real deal max wedge factory exhaust of the high performance cast iron header

the Johnson Brothers "Quick Charge" Henry J, powered by a 426 Max Wedge

 I think these are the first set of real Blue Streaks I've come across

Most blunt nosed eagle hood ornament anyone ever made is my guess, Chrysler Imperial, compared to a normal one

and the above was trumped by a badge... even less hood ornament like

compared to the below "proper" hood ornament

about as close to a Nascar as you can legally drive on California roads, pretty damn cool

 cool dash!

It would look better without the wing though
