Message: Ed Greevy, you conjured up a few more memories. My name is Russ Jacobsen. My big bros. name was Dave, class of 58. When you mentioned that multi carb rod of Bob Moser it brought me back to late 58/early 59. I ran around with a guy by the name of Bruce Johnson. He had a brother by the name of Terry. I don't know if he graduated or not, would have been 56 or earlier. But he belonged to a car club by the name of Satan's Cherubs, closely associated with the early Hell's Angel's of Hawthorne, Lawndale fame. But he had a friend, his name was Rick, that had a 52/53 Olds, blue, with a 56 J2 Olds engine, and 6 carbs on it. They used to run out of a place called "the hamburger handout" on Sepulveda and Centinela, towards Culver City. They used to race on the old hwy that ran behind (west of) the "old" LA Airport towards Westchester( the name of the road is lost in time) usually on Tues. nights. There were some awesome cars for those days. I'd interject more but would take up to much space. Good to see some new faces up here. MAY THE COUGAR BE WITH YOU! EL ROJO!
Russ, Would that road be Maintenance Road? Great place to race.

I would have bet that it was an open roadster, I think that I remember him jumping in and out of the car without opening the doors, but I was only about 9 at the time. I can still see the flames coming out of that engine - Bob would show up with anywhere from 2 to 4 carburetors on that thing from day to day. I think I heard that Cream of Wheat story about Moser back in the '50's. Bob

Message: Bob Rierdan: I'd also like to talk with Bob Moser (AKA Hose-nose). Over the years he had many cars. When you mentioned his roadster could you have been refering to his coupe with the Cad engine with the Chet Herbert roller cam and Halibrand quick change rear-end? Bob and I were close friends, and at that time I was running a Ford with a Cadillac engine and we were constantly trading engine parts. Both of us were running too many carburetors for street use but back then anything that ran was alright if it beat the competition and got you home. His coupe didn't even have a fuel pump, it had a pressurized fuel tank with a hand pump under the dash and we often terrorized Hollywood Blvd with it. One day the cooling system on the coupe sprung a leak and I won't admit to it but somebody told him a little Wheatena in the radiator would stop it from dripping. Bob then poured almost a full box of Cream of Wheat in the Ford. What a sight! As soon as the radiator was plugged it overheated and Viola. Instant Breakfast. It sat there and blew bit blobs of cereal into the sky and they covered the car. Moser, if you're reading this I still have some Cad parts for sale, cheap, and I'll reimburse you for the box of cereal.

Yo! Robin...YouJean, Organ. What fun, one could have with the various towns and byways there at organ. But I shall not go there with this.
Jamie... The Corvette paper work.. Depending on what you are looking for. If it's sale documents, those are probably gone now. But if the unit was financed through GMAC, they may have the document on micro film. If you're looking for a vehicle ownership history... the California DMV may be the place to get the information. Write there Sacramento HQ for the vehicle history. The hard way is writing the to the DMV of the last state the unit was registered in, and then working backwards from there. I've not tried searching the web for this kind of information. But who knows... Hope this gets you started towards your destination... Those were fun cars to sell. RCG.

Message: I as pleased to have happened upon this Hawthorne site. I was a resident of Hawthorne from my birth in 1954 until my family moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1962. We lived at the corner of W135th and Cordary.
My two older brothers, David and Bob Archibald, lived in Hawthorne until they were both 18 years of age. They attended and graduated from Leuzinger High School. Old high school track and field fans may remember the Archibald brothers, who burned up local tracks from 1958 through 1962. David went on to be an All-American in Track at the University of California, Berkeley. He then flew a Cobra Attack Helicopter in Vietnam in 1967-68 and returned home a highly-decorated officer. He retired from the U.S. Army in 1988 and has just retired this year from a 10-year second career as a high school biology teacher in Illinois. Bob also went on to UC Berkeley, served in South Korea in the late 60s, spent 25 years working for Pacific Bell, and is now VP of a computer billing corporation headquartered in Northern California.
I will advise them of your website. I'm sure they would be very interested.
Thank You, Steve Archibald

Message: Ed Greevy - Just read your feedback - Great stuff. Do I remember Bob Moser? He was a friend of my brother's and would pick him up for school in his roadster every morning. That car was amazing to a kid like me. When he'd show up on cold foggy mornings, he would sit in the driveway waiting for my brother and shoot fire out of the carburetors on that rod. I think it had a flathead ford in it. That was a thrill for me. It never had a hood, so he couldn't drive it on rainy days.
One night they let me go along on one of their 'nights out' and we were cruising the Blvd. It was before the center-parking strip was paved all the way and it was muddy in front of the bowling alley. Bob buried the roadster. I remember wondering why they were so upset that someone would see them stuck there. Ha ha. We pushed out and were covered with mud so that was the end of the night, at least for me.
Bob later had a '53 Studebaker convertible. I wonder what became of him, he was a good friend to my brother.
