We just received this Photo of the Car from Howard Gribble. In it's day this car was really something.
The photo was taken at the Los Angeles Sports Arena in April of 1971 at the Tridents Custom Car Show.
Promoter: RG Canning
This was the unavailing of the car, the front grill was installed at the venue prior to this photo being taken.
This is what the car looks like today
and it has been verified by Joe Bailon himself.
Early shot of the car with Jess Alcala Sr. at the wheel
The car was built in 1970 for Jess Alcala, when Joe had his shop on Los Feliz
Joe did all of the body modifications and paint.
Joe describes the grill as a one of a kind that was meticulously built for the car.
The interior was done by someone else.
The current owner has most of the interior stored unfortunately it is in disrepair.
Someone swapped out the wheels at some point.
The original wheels were the TRU SPOKE wire wheels that Cragar introduced to the industry in 1969?
The car took several awards to include the Elegance award presented
by the Grand National Roadster Show in 1972 (Photo Above)

Here is the dilemma: The current owner is a good friend of the family and purchased the car from Jess Alcala Jr. After Jess Alcala Sr. passed away his mother (Jess Alcala Jr.' Grandmother) took all of the awards and photos of the car and locked them up in the room that Jess Alcala Sr. had as a child. Mom / Grandma will not allow anyone to go into the room, not even even family members. So there they sit!
