Prudhomme car this is at Pomona the trick air scope and zoomie
headers where yet to come this was brand new but everyone would
know who they where shortly as they set records and started winning
like clock work.
Wayne Ewing had set a high standard
for body work both beautiful and functional it was clean and
drag racing would forever have it's own look from other forms
of racing.The Greer & Black & Prudhomme team at Pomona.

"Used Car Lot" - Yea,
right! This was taken at Airline Auto Sales in 1963 when the
team hooked up with Jack Flatley who owned Orange County Metal
Processing (OCMP). No clue what the Frantic 4, the OCMP and Airline
Auto dragsters were doing on the lot but you can bet they weren't
the daily specials.
This shot of Bill Martin 400
Jr. (and the one below) were taken from a still shots from the

Art Malone in the pits

Looks like it could be the Airline
Auto car in 1964 but if its not, whoever it is they have a serious
fuel deliver issue.
Bob Neal in Arnold Birkey's Jr.
Fuel car at Sacramento in 1968. This was their stepping stone
to Top Fuel. The fuel leak is an omen.

rail.
Jim Dunn - "Green
Mountain Boys" - AA/FD - Lions, 1967. One of three so-called
"Woody Trick Cars" due to the unique front suspension.
This Woody "trick"
front end that I found at one of our local swap meets some 12
years ago for $165, was the remains from the Green Mountain boys
car of Jim Dunn. This unit was run for sometime before it was
cut off and replaced with the conventional front end. It remained
in Woody's shop for many years before someone talked him out
of it. Lucky for me when this came up for sale at the various
Southern Calif. swap meets no one wanted it, the owner moved
to Washington State and I was at the right place at the right
time and scored. It hangs here just above me as I type on the
computer, now this is what I call a "computer room",
no room dividers here. BTW the first trick front end that most
of you are all aware of was the same one that was on the Texan
car of the Anderson Brothers that Kenny Bernstein drove. This
car later crashed so this unit that I have could be the only
existing one left. Photos and commentary from Tom Willford
in 2005
Finn & Warwick from
Texas, no further info.
No ID at Edmonton International
Raceway circa 1969. The walkway off the second floor was one
of the bitchinest places ever to watch a race.
Bill Brodeck's "Iron
Horse" flathead digger at Lions that appears to be bleeding
to death.
Wish I had more info on this
shot taken at the Greek's shop in Chicago. Looks like his 1966
Fuller car before paint. Car's being loaded onto a very crude
trailer ... with much improvisation I may add. That's my guess,
what's yours?
Bill Coburn's "Coburn Glaze"
AA/MFC at Fontana in 1964. Driven by Neil Leffler it was another
"fuel dragster in disguise" that often scored well
in the weekly SoCal open AA/FD shows. Messerschmidt body - how
cool.
This was one of many Scotty Finn's
designes tried in the early 60's. This is at Fontana circa 1964
and by accounts, it was short lived.
Don Prudhomme - "Ansen &
Pink" - AA/FD - 1963. This is the Zeuschel-Fuller-Prudhomme
car under new ownership and sporting a full body.
Ted Gotelli with Roy
Thode in the seat at Fremont circa 1966.
Don Garlits suiting up
at Half Moon Bay in 1966. Connie Swingle on the right.
I have NO clue. Something
Willis' Garlits Special. Looks like Lions circa 1966.
The GBP car in the lanes at the
1964 Winternationals at Pomona. This is its first outing after
being lengthened and painted orange. The car was sold later that
year.
