One of Drag racings very popular classes formed was the Gassers.
They were the stoutest full-bodied.
By the mid-60s, it was rare to find an upper classed gasser with any other body make than Willys, Studebaker, Austin or Anglia.
Using Ford V-8 "flatheads" and later overhead valve engines, Gas Coupe and Sedan classes had to maintain stock wheelbases and the engine relocation was limited.
During the 50s, Model A and 1932- 34 Fords were considered the hot set-up for these gas classes.
