One For the Books: The Pierson Brothers Coupe

When this '34 Ford appeared at Russetta Timing Association events on Southern California's dry lakes back in the late 1940s, it may as well have come from Mars. In a time where roadsters ruled, the Pierson Brothers, along with help from Edelbrock, built this world-beater of a coupe, which changed the world of lakes racing and influenced generations of hot rodders. Not only was it incredibly well-finished given the standards of the time, it was also brutally fast, notching 150mph when flathead-powered roadsters were barely making 130.
