1951 Ford Convertible. Screaming Yellow Zonker!
By Miguel Caparros. In early in 1951 my father bought a 51 Ford Convertible. His
plan was to exploit a hole in the Over The Road Racing Rules that did not forbid
engine swaps. Dad somehow acquired a brand new 1951 Cadillac Overhead Valve V8
of 330 cubic inches, the "Hemi" of its time. He apparently had the engine before
the car and his shop balance and blueprint the engine. In the process he
discovered a Californian named ED Iskenderian who was working some magics with
cams to find more power. The 51 went directly from the port of Havana to the
shop where the 85 horsepower flathead was replaced by the 300 horsepower
Cadillac V8. The Fordyllac was born. Speaking of being born, in November of 51
that was the car that took me and my mom, in a hurry, to the hospital when it
was time for me to join this world. Mother was not much of one for speed, as a
matter of fact she was terrified riding in a car. The ride to the hospital is a
story I heard 10000 times if I heard it once. The Fordyllac became a legend! Due
to the long time it takes rules to be changed Dad figured there was nothing that
could catch it for the first year. The light weight of the Ford combined with
the Cady Muscle also caused a few expected and unexpected issues. The Ford
overdrive 3 speed was not quite up to the torque of the big V8. The Crafty Cuban
mechanics at the shop somehow created a LaSalle 3 speed overdrive transmission
and history has lost what overdrive unit they used. Next thing to get attention

Drop Tank Speedster (Clip) LB Motorama - Power Brake TV
We went down to the Long Beach Motorama to see the sights, normally we will
highlight some of the rare and special cars we see, but nearly everything here
was special and unique. Funny thing is we also tried to label each of the cars
(it helps with the search results), our job was a little harder this time since
many of the normal indicators of what the car is, like the grill, have been
chopped and altered with rows of dresser drawer buttons and such, and almost
every car had Cadillac wheels or Buick taillights. Here is a Drop Tank Speedster
