I'm not sure I "get" the photo...are you referring to the tire marks?
I could do that with my 65 hp, 1953 Aero-Willys and, in fact, frequently
did, in first and second gear, but not third gear.




It had posi-traction and you could break lose in first and second?

Thought you were referring to the ability to lay down a strip of rubber
from the tires. About every stick shift I drove could do that, and so
could a few auto transmission cars.

No, my Aero-Willys did not have posi-traction. :) But I did once do a
360 with it on wet leaves on Ellsworth Avenue, just before Whalley
Avenue. Inadvertent, of course.
