Last Year I Got a chance to buy an old Dry lakes racer that was racing in the early 1950′s that was then converted into an Oakland Roadster show car, and compeated from 1958 to 1963. The Owner John Zunino Of Stockton California had the car since 1947, well into the 70′s His Nickname might have been Big John Zunino, and he was a member of the Kingsman Car club in Stockton. It has been guessed at by a few folks here on the hamb that the customization of the reveals might have been Harry Westerguard, and that the striping was likely Tommy The greek. I am not sure on these facts and am still trying to track down the full history on the car.

Now it has come time to get this car back on the road, I want to keep it as close to what it is as possible, there is a lot of neat parts and Ideas on this car.

I have hooked up with my buddy Clay of Claytons hot rods, to get it back on the road, Clay is a master at Traditional Hot rods and we is very quick and very good, so stoked I can have him do the car up right.
