Does this drag setup scream early 60s?

I've always like how they took the time to make it have that stance, and also add the hood louvers. I believe they only used those new parts for this run of cars too. Impressive.

This is from the original run of a couple of hundred...
where the front wheels were black steel with period white walls. I like that setup because it looks like it was a drag car that was fixed up in someone's garage with not too much sponsor monies. It doesn't have thar "corporate" look.
