Meguire's is one of the booths that consistently has a perfectly incredible vehicle

 

 

Ed Pinks 36, he owned and raced it after WW2, until 1951

Famed engine builder and racer Ed Pink was still a teenager when he bought this Ford coupe in 1948. It was soon chopped five inches, hot rodded with Edelbrock speed equipment, and turned into a racecar. It competed on the California dry lakes, at Bonneville, and at Santa Ana Drags. In 1951, Ed joined the army and the coupe was sold soon afterward.

and he died 7 years ago, and now his collection of cars, trucks, and petroliana is getting sold off

learned about this from http://blog.hemmings.com/

Hot Rod features the Chisenhall '36 coupe... well, I scooped them finally. I posted it at the American Street Car Challenge/ Run to the Coast at Tustin

posted a month ago http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/02/sports-car-racing-not-just-for-sports.html and http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-variety-of-cars-at-2013-run-to-cost.html 

But get the new Hot Rod magazine for the story and photos they have. Me? I just take the photos, not the interviews. I didn't know that this car belongs to the family son of Vintage Air. 

Blue Collar Customs of Sacramento were chosen by James Hetfiled to build him another vehicle, first they built him STR8 Edge the purple truck, now this 36 Ford

a 36 and a 37 Ford comparison, lots of radical changes in one model year

These are of Murphy's '37.

Murphy bought a 36 while he was a radioman in the US Navy, before WW2... but the payments were $18 a month, and his pay was $21. He couldn't make the payments for very long. He told me that after it went back to the dealership, he had 5 years at sea to think over the whole thing. He was promoted a couple of times, and after surviving the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt got all the military a raise.
above... the 37 with the rear hinged hood, headlights sculpted into the fenders. Below, the 36


I hope you enjoyed the comparison.
