"El Lay Mae"
"Moldy Marvin's" T&A
This old girl has some history and a story to tell..
Currently Registered in the State of California (on a non op) |
|
 |
Back in 2001 I found El Lay Mae at the
L.A. Roadster Show, She was sitting all by herself in a corner at the swap
meet.
I got her from dry lakes
king Joe Moreno |
Here is a snap of
her once I got her home. |
 |
This is what
she looked like
after I had
taken off all of the stickers and cleaned her up real
good. |
|
That there is the
infamous John Parker cuttin' it up with the camera... The
guy in the hat is the well known auto artist Kent Bash
who included El Lay Mae and I in one of his
paintings.
This painting has been published in
several magazine articles about Kent. |

Mae's trunk fer a dinner table.
Bob's Big Boy 2001
So What
the heck is she anyway ? Well she's got 1928 Rails, Truck Bed and 4
banger Mill... The Fiberglas 23 T bucket was
put on
her sometime in the early 60's cuz it's all
hand laid ... the side pipes
are active and serve two
purposes (1)
to make a bunch of noise and (2)
to serve as nerf bars and extra support for
that old t bucket...... The Brakes are Mechanical and she tops out between
45 and 50 MPH... |
 |
In 2002 she won her
first award at the Jewel City Kiwanis Car Show
The Award is for First Place Special
Interest. All Awards go
with the Sale of El Lay Mae |
|
2002 was also the first year that I started Racing El Lay
Mae in the Antique
Nationals . |
|
Me and a Buddy of Mine Flintstone
had a running bet of $ 1.00 every year when we raced side by side.
His car was very much like El Lay
Mae and he called his car Ebay Elly |

2004 EL Lay Mae and I in the winners
circle Antique Nationals.
She was the slowest Car on the track at 25.5
seconds. In our last eliminations we went up against a beautiful 14 second
board track racer worth about $ 40,000.0, El Lay Mae was so consistent that
day and we took Jim Macnair Award 1st Place in the 4 Banger Class!
I Love Bracket Racing! |
El Lay Mae Loves to go to El Mirage

movie.

El Lay Mae played the part of "Old
Timer" (Voice by Alex Xydias) which was the first car in the movie to be
interviewed. |

6 years to produce, I worked on the film as a consultant to Ron Mann.

| Even though
El Lay Mae might need a little TLC today, she has been very good to me for
many years now. She is a keeper for sure and as much as I would like to hang
on to her I really need to sell her cuz I need the $$$!
I'm really hoping that her new owner will feel the
same way and treat her good for many more years of enjoyment!
