Old School Gasser

 

This is the type of drag racing that you found in the 1960's Gas Classes. I lost interest in drag racing when bracket racing was introduced. There were rules and restrictions but basically the weight of the car and the displacement of the engine determined which class you were in. There was a subclass in each if you bolted a supercharger on the engine. I had a family friend that raced B and C Gas Supercharged at Quaker City Drag Strip in Salem, Ohio. Sunday afternoon at the races was a great time.

Rambler Lineup

Nash offered the Rambler to a post war United States as a smaller car that could still accommodate a family of five. It used less materials to help reduce costs and was more economical than many of the offerings at the time. Few teenaged drivers dreamed of their parents purchasing a new Rambler for the family, but looking back through the corrective lens of time I would love to have a wagon as pictured sitting in my garage today.

In 1958 the Playmates released Beep Beep. It was on the Billboard charts for 15 weeks peaking at #4.
