May 1953 (the first, premier issue) of "HONK! Magazine" featuring this car Why Is this Car Important? Perfect car for "The Race of Gentlemen" Authentic, Historic, Documented, Preserved It's history is fully documented. Too many cars have stories for which there is no documentation or independent corroboration. It was influential, and innovative and recognized as such by virtue of it's Oakland Roadster Show award. The engineering and fabrication was far above the average. Not only was it very well built, it was unique. Then as now, too many hot rods were all built to the same formula with the same parts bought from the same sources. No imagination, or innovation seen. This car however is the exception to the rule, built with all sorts of parts and design unlike any other rod of the time. For example the airplane motor timing cover and gear drive for the magneto and dry sump oil system. What other rods, then or now had a dry sump oil pump! The hand made intake manifold, not to mention the tremendous work (as outlined in the "HONK!" article) to adapt the Ford crankshaft to the Chevrolet block. The Harry Miller head is also an important piece of American Racing History. The quality of the construction is far more competent and professional that one might have expected from a car built at home in a driveway. Even the pickup bed construction is very impressive - the design incorporates complex curves and visual elements that truly set it apart. The joints and joinery techniques are what one usually only sees in very find furniture. This is clearly no typical amateur build and it has endured all these decades. The Hills built something unique, something successful and something you will never see again. Owner 971-998-27O3 Call me to discuss if you have an interest.
