Is that your Olds in the background? Frosty patina and do you still have it?

The Essex chassis rails were used in most Dirt Track race cars in the 1930's. Strong with beautiful lines. Bob

Amazing, the resemblance to a Model A in the front pic.
Chief chopped off the back of an Essex & built a semi to haul cotton from the "bottom lands" to the gin. He used an Essex transmission, behind a Model T engine & transmission & it would climb "ELM HILL" like a GOAT, with a FULL load! HEY! Chief, what did you use to make the 5th wheel?-----"WOOD"! was his blunt answer??? Wish I had pics. Bill W.

Read an article, once, that the original, original, small block Chev design was a competitor to the "Y" block design, for the engine of choice, to be used in the 1954 FORD line???????---Then was later "snatched" up by G.M.??????? Bill W.
