1932 Chevrolet Deuce Coupe Beechmont Drag Strip
|
Tommy Grimes believes this Ray Palmer photo of Bill Burton’s Deuce coupe racing at Beechmont Drag Strip in Cincinnati in 1959 or 1960 is the same car out in his garage. Ron Roberson, who wrote Middletown Pacemakers: The Story of an Ohio Hot Rod Club, says this photo shows Burton’s ’32 when it was Midnight Blue and with cycle fenders on each corner. He thinks it ran B/Altered powered by a Flathead, then changed to an Olds 345 and, as a kicker, he believes it ran at the Nationals in Detroit in 1959 (and maybe 1960 too) under the name “Lightning Rod.” View Related Article
