1948 Ford Gasser Gasser Passer

The Hurst Gasser Passer started life as a 1948 Prefect manufactured in England. It became one fo the first AA/GS race cars campaigned by Ohio George Montgomery in 1965.

With backing by George Hurst of Hurst shifter fame, this four-door race car took advantage of National Hot Rod Association rules that favored its 94-inch wheelbase. Utilizing a small block supercharged Chevrolet engine, the Prefect campaigned in AA/GS for a short time.

Ohio George Montgomery shifted the 1948 over to BB/A for the 1966 NHRA Springnationals in Bristol, Tennessee where it was victorious. Prior to building his next race car, Ohio George sold it to Joe Hrudka of Mister Gasket fame, where it became the 'Gold Getter.'

This car languished for many years with various owners, until rescued by the current owner in 2012. It is being returned to its original as-raced glory.
