Old Bonneville Pictures

[N72727]

My mother had one of those Citroens, an ID19.  Late 50's model.  It was a front wheel drive car named "Powerful Pierre."  The front wheels were farther apart from each other than the back wheels.  She claimed the car could be cocked a certain way on the suspension and driven with one of the rear wheels missing.  These were very advanced cars for their time and it was amazing the French could build them.  Their country was trashed during the war and it was in the not so recent past.

The seats folded down to make a soft bed.  A very French feature and quite shocking for the staid 50's.  The beret I wear to the NW Reunions and BUB parties is the one my father wore when he drove her car.

Here is such a Citroën DS. But this one is slightly modified : http://sucksqueezebangblow-juice.blogspot.com/2009/04/800hp-citroen-ds-at-bonneville.html

It is the same car.

. . . and didn't it turn green?

Here's a few pictures of Jim Amrhein's Team Fercockta roadster from about 1972.  I believe it was then running as an F/Fuel Roadster with a Slant-6 with no butterflies in the injectors and held the record as such.  It's way modern for its time.  It's still in the record book, thirty-six years later, holding the D/Blown Fuel Roadster record at El Mirage, set in 1975, at a respectable 223.

Let's see if I can post a picture with this . . .

My bad - guess I should have watched the video.

Not the same as the Hathaway car. This one with a blown and then unblown BBC, I think it started green then went red. But, according to my other post what do I know?

Not a "vintage" photo , in fact, I took it yesterday.  Display at the Autorama this year , SLC Utah.  Worth the (inflated) price of admission !

Too pretty -- I like this one better.

(If anyone wants a large high resolution file of this, Freud cleaned my slide up after 40 years and I'll email it to you if you pm me your email address.  I don't know if I could pm it to you because of the file size.)

[Elmo Rodge]

Hey Billy. That looks like the one I took yesterday.  Wayno

I'll take a coppy of that thanks & forward it on to Al.
My guess is that's Hank Bissetti on the right, Harvey (Al's brother) at the back & possably Gill on the left.

I think I just sent a PM, my computater did some goofy WTF crap, so we'll see.

Thanks for the pic Stan.  I've seen that record in the book forever but never known the car.  Now I do.
