Back in the day “Special†didn’t mean the short bus. It meant something unique and different. This car is one of those legendary Specials from the 50s. A car which was built for pennies in a California garage and went out to beat legendary machines made for “cubic money” in places like Maranello and Stuttgart. Do you know its name?
Ol’ Yeller, by Max Balchowski…he self-descried it as a ‘junk yard dog!” At first, it had the venerable “Nail head” old engine. Drew the outline of the car in chalk on his shop floor!
Those days, sadly, are gone….
Indeed it is. I have a bunch of photos of Ol Yellar. I’ll post them in an upcoming addition.
