Just love it! Memories.......a blast from the past..........if I'm right this is a channelled '31 Model A with a "deuce" rad shell, "nail head" motor and 3 deuces......almost identical to the Roadmates' Derek "Duke" Brown's ride from the '60s........Thanx! .... (RIP Duke)

It looks like they strapped some guy to the front of the engine!? Would it be because he wasn't "Fonda" riding in the caboose?

I'll be snookered , looks like Uncle Joes 58 Buick and his body shop in the background! I recall he used to get one car with a bashed front, another with a bashed rear, cut em in half and weld the good pieces together. Not sure how he handled alignment though? Of course that was before safety checks were invented (LOL)
