BACK IN THE DAY video

[bluefury361]

My brother sent this link to me. Shot back in 1959. I was a regular at Detroit dragway in the late 50's and through the 60's and was probably there when this was shot.

Y'all should love the cars, speed equipment and apparel. A real time capsule. It's almost a half hour long.

Cool video. 22 minutes in is a shot of the "Ram Rod", the Mopar Ramcharger guys' first try at a drag car (if I have my facts straight).

Original car is gone that one was recreated around the original intake manifold. Most detailed story of the car I have ever found is in the "we are the ramchargers" book. Which is a must read for any real Mopar fan.
