need bonneville streamliner photos
« on: June 26, 2014, 05:46:07 PM »
Just want to say hello as I'm a 'new guy' here. I'm hoping to get some help in locating photos of a few old Bonneville streamliners. The first is the Harold Post car from 1952 and then raced (and wrecked) in '54 as the Belond Exhaust Special. I think that was the end of the line for this car. The other car I'm looking for is an ex Chet Herbert Beast (4 or 5) that was resurrected by Ermie Immerso in 1959 as the Kraft Auto Special (#333) and then again in 1961 with Dean Van Line sponsorship. Does anyone know if it was raced with the Dean Van Lines markings in 1961 (or later)? After that Ermie raced his own car, the Thunderbird IV. Thanks for any help, I've been looking on many sites and in a lot of old magazines!

Found this article, but don't know the name of the magazine. You should also find some photos here:
