You might want to hurry up and get those reservations in, the Riviera closes in early May for demolition this year. The Convention Center will be spreading up to the strip soon.

Came across this a little while ago.



And this is the same truck with 14,000 miles on it when I owned it about 3 years ago.

Frank Van Doorn putting on the drag slicks back in his early days?

Very similar pic I snapped at the South Bend national in 2012.

These 57 Chevys were kinda like works cars. There was a factory parts catalogue that all the parts were available for them, including the hubs and six lug wheels. I cloned one like these in 1980.

This comes from a booklet entitled Camp Bragg and Fayetteville, Sketches of Camp and City. The booklet was published in 1919. I assume at least one of the cars sitting in front of the Clayton Garage is a Studebaker. The city is Fayetteville, North Carolina and located on Hay Street, along with some other automobile dealerships.
