Welcome.
I wasn't leaving any one out. That is why I mentioned to look at Norm Ruby's black 1961 Ford. His hood is wedged open at the rear. As you see form youir pictures of some great old Ford lightweights the hood thing caught on. But so did the sacutioning body that made the rules...LOL

The Detroit street cars tried to look as stock as possible. Other than Wangers' '62 Royal race car the other three where always on the streets of Detroit waiting for those unsuspecting saps. LOL
