Bill Sherk, 60 years behind the Wheel, Dundurn Press, 2003

 Gordon Fairbanks of Montreal drove his customized 1936 Ford Roadster down to New York City in the summer of 1942 where this picture was taken. The car sports a split windshield from an Auburn Speedster, exhaust pipes reminiscent of the same car, a chopped top, skirts and ribbed bumpers. Under the hood a McCullough supercharger livened up the engine.
