Hello All,
Thought I would add a little info. The family and I returned home over the weekend from nine days in Sunny Southern California!! Survived LA traffic, watched my little boy (18 mo's) SCREAM at Goofy, and others, and had a wonderful family vacation. We had the pleasure of visiting the NHRA museum, and saw Tom Jacobson's 'OLD BLUE' :clap , among other interesting vehicles. Also visited the Peterson museum, where Dale Armstrong's '61 SS 409 ;) is currently on Display. I will post pictures of both. The Peterson museum also had a nice collection of varied cars, and a "Mystery Motor". Funny thing, it had swept back cast iron headers, date coded late in '62, but it had a standard Mk IV water pump, I thought they used a "W" style water pump? :scratch Unfortunately, they had it roped off, that I couldn't get close enough to see any other codes or numbers, other than on the headers, which were clear as day!

P.S. The two Wully Bully cars will be in action over Memorial day weekend, joined by our third car, "Wully Bully Jr.", piloted by my nine year old son! :)

Steve:

Awesome that you got a chance to visit those places and see some historical pieces. A lot different than looking in one of our garages (or basements), eh?

If you had pics of these, that would be neat to see the cars and engines. Thanks for the post, and good luck on Memorial Day weekend!

Best,
TomK
