Geez, I don't how we missed "Mother Nature", Suriano and Hildebrandt '57 Chevy 2dr wagon was a real crowd pleaser with it's bumper dragging wheel stands. It was no stranger to the Record Book or the Winners Circle!

There was a guy in my home town that had a '65 Mustang coupe that was "Quarter Horse" he sold it and bought a '65 Mustang fast back he called "the stoned streaker". It had BC, the caveman from the comics riding on a stone wheel and strategically placed smoke.
Yes, it was the mid 70's😂
