Hurst T Handle Display
 

Hi Gents, I wanted to share my most recent score and one I'm very proud to own.

Here is a 1960s/1970s Hurst T Handle display complete with an NOS in the box peg board and sign. I did not mount the sign or install the peg hooks for the blister packs but this is a simple 'lay on the floor' mock up of what it would like complete. I unpacked all of my NOS T Handles for these pics. After years of looking, I'm thrilled to add this one to the collection. In my own way I look to recreate how vintage speed shops must have been and this is a must-have piece in my theater of the mind.

Thanks for looking,
Dan

When I was 16 I used to work next door to a speed shop. For lunch break I would walk over and ogle the parts, but focused on a T handle. My Z/28 had the chrome ball and I wanted the T handle bad! Finally saved up enough to buy one. It came in a package like the one on the lower right. Now If I can just remember what I did with the chrome ball...

Thanks very much gents... this one is a corner stone item in my collection!

Dan

beautifull!

Terrific display item... looking forward to seeing photos of your vintage speed shop when you get it all set up!

Very neat

Really cool display. Where does the "INDY" T handle fit into your collection and/or the Hurst timeline?
