Re: "BLACK WIDOW"
Hot Rod did an article on a real Black Widow found in Texas some years ago. It was the SEDCO 'mule', not raced at that time but eventually drag-raced. They recently commented on the 6-lug hubs/axles. They were not truck parts but heavy-duty pieces developed for limo/airport bus conversions, impossible to find today.

Re: "BLACK WIDOW"
Here's an original 57 business coupe trim tag. Notice the "B" after the body style #. This car even came with the Hugger Orange [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif[/img] special order paint!

Re: "BLACK WIDOW"
I'm gonna apologize in advance, but I'm venturing off topic...
Hey Bill! Am I to *assume* you made it back home in one piece?! It was great meeting you and Bob...I'll try and look for him around town from now on! Ok, back to the 150 talk!

Re: "BLACK WIDOW"
Yes Rob made it home just fine, thanks. Spent Sunday evening in St Louis, had driven direct to Bob's Friday. Alton is a looong ride from here! We had a nice visit, caught a fish - my first!
It was a pleasure meeting you and seeing the cars. Should you ever be in town you have a friend in Milwaukee.
