  • Small show with some unique cars

    Went to a small show across from The University of Notre Dame @ Eddy Street Commons. The Commons is a small retail/condo area where The Hammes Book Store is located. Ever hear of The Romy Hammes Ford Thunderbolt? Same family,and they sponsor this show. It is a small turnout but I took some pix of the more unique vehicles.

    WTF? OK here we go! This pickup was put together nicely. It is powered by a Turbo Charged 4 cylinder diesel! The current owner bought it @ a past Hunnert Car Pileup. (a kick azz show)

        Here is a Astin Martin owned by Jerry Hammes. The other is a Lexus V6 powered sleeper.Think its a poser? It has a Pro Charger hidden under the hood with exhaust and fuel map mods,lowering/handling suspension and custom carbon fiber hood and engine cladding.

              See the Desoto in the foreground? It has a Firedome Hemi stuffed in there.

                The big Studebaker truck is Diesel Jim Maxie in his 1962 Transtar with the factory diesel power.

                        Great pictures, I love shows like that. The Studebaker truck looks like Ted Harbit's Hauler only I think his is Red. I remember Dick Brannon, he was the Driver for the Romy Hammes Drag cars. I picked up on the tow bar brackets on the front of the Thunderbolt, I remember that car and I'm betting they don't flat tow it anymore, it probably rides in an enclosed truck or trailer with a security system!

                          Right you are Grumpy! The official letter to Brannan from Ford was on display and it was neat to see they sold the car to him for $1.00 for use in "drag racing" only. "Drag racing" was quoted thru out the letter and it specificly stated no street use! Imagine that today. Legal would probably have a phone book size book of BS.
