I missed the basement while I was there. I did see the "cotton candy" one though. A few y-blocks there, so it was a good show. Met Gene Winfield while I was there by his gold (32 I think) pick-up. Nice guy.

Fifth row down on the extreme right. That Flat roof, primered T sedan Is owned by a nice young fellow I met in Dearborn last year. It's a 368 Lincoln with "the right stuff". Engine assistance was provided by Royce! He hopes to get to Columbus this year. The car is a real original hot rod owned by his father ar one time. Great car with a great history and Y powered. Wow! Chuck in NH

He is also the owner of the Larsen roadster. A classic piece of 50's - 60's hot rod! A really great survivor! Check it out at this link: http://jalopnik.com/366500/the-larson-engineering-special

Y's guys rule!Looking for McCullouch bracketts and parts.

Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts.

The black A fenderless p/u 7 down all the way on the left side is the one with the mysterious mechanical fuel injection.

Hard to tell in the picture but it looks like a boat intake with 2 carbs. It's such a weird looking combination that anyone that hasn't seen one would be taken aback! Picture below is only running one carb. Chuck in NH
