Re: Couple of strange pictures, help identify?
bmorgan, don't laugh, but, back in the late 50s I bought a 40 Chevy Coupe that had a 53 Olds V-8 and complete Olds drivetrain in it. Just before handing over the $300 for it I opened the turnk to check the spare, which wasn't there. But, there was two large blocks of wood with curved notches carved in them and bolted to the frame.
I asked the guy what those were for, he looked sheepishly at me and said "well this car is from Revenna Kentucky and its just kind of a well known car there" It still hadn't dawned on my what he was talking about until he popped open some samples. Then all became clear.
As I handed over the money, thinking perhaps I should give more, he looked down at the money in his hand and said "son, just don't drive this car in Eastern Kentucky."
