This is the place where you can publish or discuss all about MEL engine and MEL Car related History. Any MEL Car, engine or whatever part MEL related can be posted or discussed if you feel that it fits into this category. Have fun.

Here is a 1959 'zipper top' thunderbird. These were modified by Holman Moody to run in the Nascar Convertible races that were popular at the time. This car was driven by Banjo Matthews. MEL 430 powered. This car would be similiar to the car Johnny Beauchamp ran at the first Daytona 500
