 The difference between the late 50s, and the early 60s, in Drag Racing, is like comparing a 'Junkyard Dog' to a 'Prom Queen."  
 In the 50s, it was all about stripping the car down to it's basics, getting rid of any part that didn't help the car go faster, or adding parts in an attempt to gain speed.  Although there were some finely crafted machines at that time, they were the exception to the rule. The rule being, self-built handcrafted racing machines, built in large part, by amateur builders, who were just making it up as they went along. Some guys were better builders then others, but for the most of the part, very little consideration was given to the appearance of these vehicles. Hence the term 'Junkyard Dog"! 
 By 1960s, the Hot Rodding scene was exploding in popularity, and the 'Custom Car Show" circuit became the ultimate place for Rodding junkies to hang. W
