More Bonneville LSR racing stuff.
I've always much admired Art and Lloyd Chrisman's coupe with it's two '40 Ford hoods welded together for it's nose. I copied that nose on an AMT 1/25 scale model of a '40 sedan when I was a kid.

When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

    Tom if  are you saying that coup has two  40 Ford hoods welded together to make that nose, then all I can say is WOW!  That took some thinking.  I suppose that was the days when most junkyards had 40 Fords in them.

The 63 Fairlane could be a rest mule for the 64 Thunderbolt?

This Fairlane is a 1962 and it now belongs to a friend of mine. It is in excellent condition with its 406 engine and three deuces. It is a Pre-Pre Thunderbolt!!

Tasca Ford campaigned a new midsize Fairlane, Challenger II, in 1962, powered by a 406 engine that was not available in the car. The biggest engine Fairlane came with was the new 221-inch small-block, forcing Tasca to run in A/Factory Experimental.

This one looks like a Thunderbolt, but it's actually a 64 Sports Coup (hardtop).  Back in the day, I owned one that was a real "K Code" 271 HP car.  It was painted in two tone, Springtime Yellow, and White.  Had a White bucket seat interior with the factory console.  Before I bought the "three year old" car, it already had the four speed transmission removed, and replaced with a C-4 automatic.  It was a nice conversion, but they left the clutch pedal on the floor.   It was a nice fun car.  It was originally sold to a doctor new in Wickenberg, Arizona.  Wished I had it back today.

I have seen this car in person after it was restored by the Chrisman's garage.  It was owned at the time by the late Joe Mc Pherson, a local new car dealer, and BIG TIME hot rod enthusiast/collector.


This is a all time icon Hot Rod.  It was very cool to see.  They did a true museum restoration on it.  Fortunately Art Chrisman was still alive at the time.  Both Art, and Joe are gone now, but their efforts to save some history remain..

Yup, I always knew that the nose was two '40 hoods. Decided that that would make a good streamlined nose.
The story goes something like when Art or Lloyd was going thru a junkyard & by chance moved a '40 hood out of the way & set it on top of another one that was upside down on the ground.
Every time I've searched over the years for more info on this iconic car I find more info.  Now I know why I thought for a long time that this was a chopped '34 five window instead of an A coupe.

The engine swap pic; the engine, trans & rear end came out from under the car as one unit by removing "about a dozen' bolts.  These guys really had their stuff together.

You lucky dog! I'd have loved to see the car in person or better yet running at Bonneville. But I live in Alaska & was only 9 years old when they ran it for the last time there in 1954.
I'm sure glad it was restored to it's original condition after George Barris turned it into this TV show & show car abomination. I read that he gave it gull wing doors. I'm guessing that '37 oval tube front axle got chromed when Barris had it.
Art & Lloyd Chrisman were real Ford guys. Art also had a '57 Ranchero. It was painted the 'right' color too! :)
