Default Now this is a flathead!

I took this at the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona CA today. Lots of nice flatheads. Too many to post. Go the the hamb and click on anything to do with the GNRS and you'll be in for a treat.

Couldn't resist posting a pic of my roadster sitting out in the rain. Saturday was perfect, but today it rained all day.

Lawrie one day when I'm down your neck of the woods I'll have to come and have a listen to that flattie of yours and hopefully there may be a meet on to see it on the strip. Dan.

Paul, thanks for posting the photos of the Zephyr V-12. I wonder where those heads came from? I'd sure like to have a set for our '39 LZ. Vic

You know, Paul, as nifty as that 12 is, I actually like your car better. Too much flash and whizbang on the coupe.
