Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Hottest Rods: Mario Capobianco's 1934 Ford coupe was just one of hundreds of machines ready to bare all at Markington Square earlier this week. Bill Taylor writes that the co-organizers; Speed Sport; are to be congratulated because their Tuesday evening get-together combines the minimum of formality with maximum accessibility. The heavy metal display ranged from the usual gaggle of '50s Chevies to World War II Military trucks and Jeeps.
