In 1962 Bob Tindle created the Orange Crate. This car was a 1932 Ford Tudor built around a blown 1960 Olds engine mounted in an all-chrome, hand-crafted tubular chassis. It featured a hinged the body at the back for display as well as service / maintenance. The car was fairly quick for it's time, and was evident by the 140 mph / 10.61 ET.
The Crate was also a looker too, and it won the Sweepstakes Trophy at the 1962 Los Angeles Winternationals and the Oakland National Roadster Show's trophy for best competition car.
