A-Bodies...Big Motors / New Hemi Duster - FINAL ASSEMBLY
We all did. That bigger car was custom scratch-built by our dad.
It was gas-powered and ran. forward and reverse. the side pipes
were functional. Bright red with a real (cut-down) Lasalle grill and
a hand formed sheetmetal body. Front-engined, trans and a real
differential just like a full size car (mostly riding mower parts).
That '55 Chevy in the background was brand new in the photo!
I'm driving in the photo with brother Dick on board. The car was
featured in Popular Science and The Cleveland Plain Dealer (with
HemiDenny driving).
So........you see where we get it.
