1959 NHRA film
Some really great cars shown in this film, back when back-yarder Hot Rods were frequently at the strip.

Bill,

Thanks so much for postring that one.

I've never seen it before. Certainly, one of the best features I've seen on ANY NHRA era.

Where did you find it? I'd like to link if it's OK with you.

A Rodder friend e-mailed me the link to it. Go ahead and use it.

I just love the look of some of them.. "original" Hot Rods, hand built...not a kit..lol

I really enjoyed this piece. And hey, remember Art Arfons?
