Dad had a 49 Olds 98 in the early 1950's that was the fastest one in the middle Tennessee area. He used it as a test bed for several hotrodding projects on the then-new overhead valve Olds and Cadillac V8's, some which ended up being incorporated into a different style of "tanker" for some guys from the east Tennessee mountains. He won a hydrovac as a door prize at a garage owners' banquet sponsored by a local parts warehouse and fitted it to the Olds. Just one little problem- - - -it was sized for a 3/4 ton truck! It took a VERY gentle touch on the brake pedal to keep from locking up the wheels at every stop.

"New and different" simply for the sake of change sometimes results in butchered-up rolling deathtraps, even when the intentions are good. Ambulance chasing lawyers love to put those guys in their crosshairs!
