Wompin Wagon (I love that name, it makes me grin) Nomad dragster

interesting distinction, tri 5 sedan delivery vs station wagon

Sedan delivery is classified as a commercial vehicle and therefore a truck, a station wagon is just a car. Which do you think has a better chance of winning against the competition?

Pit passes are a great way to accentuate the dragsters dashboard




I photographed all these interesting parts of the car at the Beatnik Blowout, but didn't think to get an overall exterior shot so you can see what the car is.

More cool stuff from 5window.tumblr.com





all from http://5window.tumblr.com but beware that it's changed a bit from being primarily race cars and hot rods, there are lots of nude women, lingerie, etc etc. Yup, that's awesome, but don't let your boss sneak up on you to see what you are surfing the web looking at

What is old school? Pinups and drag racing... nice! oldschoolking33.tumblr




Junkyard Dodge, great name
