This car was popular in the magazines and also as a scale model. I remember it well
I was at the Mecum auction in Kissimmee a couple years ago when one of the "Little Red Wagons" was being sold. Side note. talked to Bob Riggle "Hemi under Glass" and he was talking about how driving one of these wheel standers had gotten so much more manageable with the rear tire steering. For him, shifting a 4sp and not knowing where you are, trying to gauge off the other car, well there was a lot going on.
I saw the little red wagon many different times at New England dragway
Awesome to watch!!!
Saw The Little Red Wagon race at Great Lakes Drag Strip in Wisconsin. He was pretty much a regular there along with Don Prudhomme and Don Garlitz. Always had pit passes and it was so cool watching the team tearing apart engines so quickly
Wow, i literally grew up at Lion's Drag Strip and saw the little red wagon go down the 1/4 mile on 2 wheels. Was big for the times. We were there with the Butters/Jerard aa/fd.. i miss those days.😊
Just like the "Hemi Under Glass" Barracuda. There were several grand standers that did bumper runs until they became unsafe and were dangerous.
This and the jolly rancher stage coach was my favorite
I was lucky enough to see Bill and the Little Red Wagon when I was a kid in the mid 60's
I've got a nice model of the Little Red Wagon!
The first two LRWs were based on the the factory unibody with a tubular rollbar and modified rear suspension. After the wreck in 1975 the truck was rebuilt with a full tube chassis that placed the driver in the center of the truck. Chuck Swift's "High And Mighty" A-100 was a copy of the original. I've gone for a 1/4 mile long wheelstand in it as a passenger. No passenger seat, so I was sitting on a milk crate and holding on for dear life. Still one of my craziest stunts.
🏁Great vid!!!!!!🏁
I miss hanging out with Bill at the Mopar Nationals and other shows I would see him at.
How many out there had a Revelle model kit or Hot Wheels of the Little Red Wagon?
little red wagon lived across the street from me! st.pete fla😮
I seen this Little Red Wagon at the Harrisburg IL Drag strip . It's a little 1.8 mile but that truck would go from one end to the other in a wheel stand .
I met him in the 90's and fixed Flat Tires for him just around the Corner from where he lived at in Arkansas before he passed away.
I saw this car at an air show at Johnsville Naval Airbase in the sixties when I was a kid.
Seen the LRW I think in the late 90s in Chandler Indiana if not it was someone with the same setup 👍
Time stamp 2:40-2:50 Never knew the winter nationals were held in Fontana, I know the first one was held in FL. in 1960 and the 2nd one in Pomona in 1961, and I thought it never changed venues since.
Time stamp 0:49-0:52 Isn't that a Army patch on his left arm , and I'm not sure if the US Marines ever wore berets.
This thing made dozens of appearances at US30 Dragstrip in the ‘60s.
his brother lives in my hometown now

The 60's were great.
I had the model
