  • My friend Frankie brought his Bubble Top Bel Air over to talk details and the great history of this car. One of the things I love about Frankie is he builds cars to drive and he drives em' hard!
    Enjoy this one...

    I saw Dyno Don run his 409 Impala some 30+ years ago at Sumerduck raceway. He match raced Ronnie Sox's Hemi Cuda, Arnie Beswick Pontiac Tempest and I recall Beswick ran the best times. That Impala though was badass.

    Very nice. The first time I saw a 62 Bubble Top 409 when I was 17, I was so impressed. It has been a favorite of mine ever since. I like the outward simplicity of the car, just as it should be. I am now 73 years old and I had some muscle cars in my earlier driving days when I nothing else to spend my money on besides cars, girls and booze. I did a few burn outs back then, but never a tire wasting donut. Maybe I am just too frugal.

    Beautiful bubble top. Back in the early 1960's when I was a teenager I was into smoking the tires on my car. I guess after a few years in the Navy and Vietnam, I finally realized how stupid I was to waste my tires and possibly blow a perfectly good engine in my '57 Chevy. I think I grew up in Vietnam and realized what was actually much more important than wasting tires.
