Bleach Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 they were called "flood pants" inmy time and region. Shame me about the grill on that gasser.I was often asked as a kid, "where's the flood?" because I grew out of my pants so quickly. I'd hear the term "high waters" then too.

They look/looked like the MOON......Dale in IndyThen came the "baby moons" smaller disks that covered just the wheel center. Like a dog dish hubcap but plain spun aluminum. I think the first use of moon disks was to curb the airflow across the front wire wheels on the "sling shot" dragsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel88 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Thinking back on the Moon/Racing disks, I do remember them being called Moon disks as well as racing disks. They were available as screw on (had to drill holes in your rim) or snap on like a regular hub cap. They were next to impossible to "snap on" without putting little dents and flat spots. I helped a friend put them on his 40 Ford convertible and we tried to be very careful but wound up putting some small dents in them. Boy! I would like to have that 40 Ford now. It was a very nice car and he only paid $300 for it back in 1961! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BigDogDaddy Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I came across this image on Facebook. I'm guessing both images are of the same car. Does anyone know anything about this car. Who built and why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5219 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I have seen these pictures before represented as a styling proposal for the 1959 Buick. Notice that the left side has door posts and the right side is pillarless. Also, the side trim differs from left to right. Because of this, I suspect that this was a mockup and not a functioning car.Strange how the three tailfin concept never caught on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
