Here is a photo I took recently at America On Wheels Museum where I volunteer. This is a 1955 Corvette that is part of the current display celebrating the 'vette's 70th anniversary. We also have Corvette #113 that belonged to Victor Borge, to a 2023 model. Others include a Calloway Aerowagen and the body clone of a 1963 Grand Sport. More photos of the the display are at > 2023 - Spring & Summer - America On Wheels Museum <.

As did my maternal grandmother! My mother liked to tell us that her mother bragged that she'd never been in an accident, to which my mother would add "but she caused SO MANY... "

If they'd driven a 59 Caddy through there I'd be impressed.

Shouldn't that picture have been taken in a Mini Mart?

I remember seeing him race when I was a wee lad. Friend of the family took us to the drag races when we were visiting in Richmond. The one thing I remember most about that day was how LOUD it was!!

I never went to the drags without some kind of ear protection! Some of those top dragsters will even make your head vibrate!

Some of the aftermath of that moment is on display with that picture at his museum in Ocala, FL. Including the remaining one-and-a-half shoes.

Keep looking at this photo. Ms Triss moved here in the back of a moving truck, that I understand, but, how did they put that in there? Must have been some funky ramps.

Outrageous! I mean, who wears black socks with Bermuda shorts? (besides old retired guys living at The Villages?)
