some old hot rods are still around

Bill Lakes built this roadster, and at the time was the machine shop manager at Edelbrock, knew how to make a car fast, and good looking enough that it was the April 1950 Hot Rod Magazine feature, and won multiple records at Bonneville in both B/Roadster and B/Fendered Roadster classes (turning 144.24 and 123.84mph respectively).

Those headlights look terrible though
