My ‘65 A/FX Chevelle making its debut at SCR9. Built back in the day with dropped front axle w/dual leaf springs, hand built rear ladder bar suspension, re-worked fender wells, etc.
These cars were known as A/FX (Factory Experimental) cars, or AWB (Altered Wheelbase) cars, and even “wheel standers” (often times on the rear bumper) these were the original “funny cars”, when an announcer looked at one and was quoted as saying “that is a funny looking car”. They were known as funny cars until the one piece flip top cars came along, then they were called Gassers.
