Maybe it means something different in Canadian.
That's fappin cool.
so for those of us who didn't grow up on this continent, what was that based on? is the wheelbase shortened? If so how much? And what kind of spec are those race monsters? Kind like a C mod on LSD.
In reply to Adrian_Thompson :
Going by the thin C Pillar and bulge down the side I'm guessing a 61 Catalina. The wheelbase is stock or close to it but the wheel openings are cut larger to fit the bigger race tires and wheels. That car ran as a Late Model in Quebec. Most Late Models at the time would have had a production based body and chassis, reinforced with a full roll cage, the largest V8 allowed by the particular sanctioning body, a manual 3 or 4 speed transmission, the rear modified to use floating hubs, and modified heavy duty suspension bits.
That Catalina has the fairly rare heavy duty brakes option!
The "wheels" you see are the heavily finned brake drums. The wheels are just a rim with eight tabs that bolt to the outer diameter of the drum.
I've seen a few, but I have never seen one that still had the adaptor in the trunk so that you could use a tire machine with them. Tire machines generally clamped the wheel down by its center, so the adaptor was needed.
Modern tire machines can do it, but balancing becomes an issue.
