Harley Earl really designed "jets" for the masses. He too basic aerospace queues and made middle class America part of the "Jet Age".  Simply genius --- !

The Ploiesti raids were pretty brutal for the Allies. Lots of planes never made it home. Wars run on oil, even back then.

That 1956 (concept car),  probably in clay has some interesting design components   The tiny fins appeared  on the 57 Cadillac Barritz models.   The split back window was a feature of the 63 Corvette Stingray..    The roof has what appear to be (Tee Tops).   Which didn't  come along until the 70s.  Those Torpedo back bumpers  were on a later Cadillac idea car.   In the background is a 56 Chevy Nomad  wagon, a vehicle forever on my bucket list.  Harley Earl  really had an eye for design .

That concept car is bad to the bone.  You sre correct,  Harley Earl was genuis.

The guy in the roadster is Ed Iskendrian,  founder of Isky racing parts cams etc.   Note the highly modified flathead ford.   Two of those pics were taken 30 years apart  .     He had  kept the roadster just as he had built it back in the day.    Nice pics

Great pics of Ed -- the man was a cam grinding genius. IIRC he came up with the idea of hard facing performance cams

Is is just me, or would anyone else just love to hang out in that old, grimy, dingy, hot rod garage for while?

[slip knot]

Hang out and visit, sure. Stay and help, nope. I'm long past using the floor for my workbench. I would have to crawl home at the end of the day.
