Coolest or Oddest Combo.....

There was a guy named Everett Hatch from (Portland?) Oregon who ran a '56 Packard Clipper in D Gas with a Carribean twin four barrel manifold, and he and his car were featured in Hot Rod magazine back in the late '50s, because his car was very fast, for its class. I think it may have held the D Gas national record for an extended amount of time.

Additionally, there was some guy from Indianapolis who had a '56 Golden Hawk (the one with the Packard 352 motor) who put a GMC-6:71 on it and ran A Gas Supercharged for awhile. A buddy of mine almost bought that car in about 1959. Can't remember his name, but it was something funny like "Casey Jones," or such.

My old truck. Dialed two seconds under at Indy points race and broke out, was not very good looking but plenty fast.
