Not for nothin' Don, but those slope-nosed Studes r' still some'a the slickest lookin' rides. They were meant for places like Bonneville from the day those guys first put the design on paper.
Godda correction though: the upright Hudson was the Jet. The Wasp and the Hornet were the "lead-sled" bad boys. If you could take a Mafia beefy heavy-weight, complete with zoot-suit (Now there's a left-over!) n' fedora pulled low over his eyes n' transform that into a car . . well, that wuz the Hornet n' the Wasp. The original heavy-hitters.
N' if you're goin'ta Bonneville, ya can't leave out the belly-tank cars: ground-goin' record setters made oud'a left over drop-tanks from WWII aircraft.
Campbell, Thompson,Tommy Ivo, Don Garlits, Big Daddy Roth . . I think I'm havin' a seizure . . .
