Pipins
and Torrez Fiat, Olds powered with a flip up body! Pretty trick for early

fiberglass protrusion

This
car still lives today, The DiMatteo Bros. AA/FA, although, in it's present
configuration, it's minus the fuel-burning Chrysler...instead, relying
on an injected alky small block Chevy.

What
happened to the Yellow Submarine of Lewis and Perry, you ask?? They sold
it to Steve French, and it became the 'French Connection'! Go figure,
huh?

Ratican Jackson Stearns came to
Minnesota Dragways in 1960, more than likely after Detroit, with Adams,
Scrima and Harris. Apologize for the quality but I haven't seen many
shots of this car in color from 1960, thought you may enjoy it.
