A very early photo, early 50’s, quite possibly from either Hialeah or Opa Locka. While at first glance this appears to be nothing but a beat up jalopy, a closer look says otherwise, for the times this was a good, well build racecar. Notice the full floater truck rear end, and the heavy duty hub and wheels on the left front. The right front would have a truck axle cut and welded in, and a full floater hub there as well. There is a massive truck radiator, to cool the modified Ford Flathead V8 engine. Notice the 2 Two barrel’s with the “ram air” intake stacks. Look carefully and you can see the doors are tied shut! Regardless, this was a state of the art racecar for the time, probably in the Modified division. Hollywood Ford has been an institution for over 50 years. Looks like Roddy dodged one, notice what is going on behind him!
