Vintage Drags: The Green Hornet

crossley_07.jpg

Firebird Raceway recently held their spring swap meet and had a visit from a racer from the past. A regular in the Northwest drag scene from 1964 to 1978, Del Crossley brought out his Green Hornet J/Gas Studebaker. The asking price was only $3000! Could you imagine cruising around town in this, as it sits? It might be the ultimate rat rod, with it’s honest patina rather than a manufactured one. Very cool!

You can see more of the Stude, with it’s as raced interior here. Be sure to scroll down and check out the Blast From The Past archive for some fantastic vintage drag images.

Thanks to Marc for the tip!
