Brad Hall in Skaneateles NY is the proud owner of this 1937 pick up -
with the original V8-60 engine. He describes it as a 20,000 mile "barn
find" that runs great. It had been parked since 1980.

When Ed Cortopassi was thinking about putting the Glass Slipper in running order for the nostalgia drags, he thought about using a Flathead Ford as it was originally built; with the flathead it went 181 at Bonneville in 1955. In the end he used a small block Chevy similar to the way it was when he set some world records at March AFB in 1958. There he went 168.85 in the standing kilometer with an unblown Chevy 302.

This 1939 Ford 1 1/2T Flatbed Truck belongs to Russ Williams of Albion, CA who did the restoration work on it including paint. It has some unique features including a (stock) sliding rear window for great ventilation when the windshield is cranked out! Now all that he needs is a higher speed rear end ratio to get down the road.
