This car was the first car that the ‘Hi-Risers’ club at Ford Motor had as a club car. A 1964 Ford Thunderbolt. Great looking car. This image was posted on Facebook.

The THUNDERBOLT! – another pic
Can you tell I like the name ‘THUNDERBOLT’?
Anyway, here’s another pic that a guy sent me. He was asking about my Dad’s participation in the 1969 Winternationals. The write-ups after the meet indicate that he was there and participated driving a 1964 Thunderbolt.
Of course, when I asked about it I got another story. Ford was supposed to prep a ’64 Thunderbolt but the vehicle was not finished in time.
See below.
THUNDERBOLT!
I tell you…I learn something new everyday. I was wandering through some web site looking for information about the ‘Hi-Risers’. The ‘Hi-Risers’ were meant to be Ford’s answer to the ‘Ramchargers’ from Chrysler.
I went back and tracked the site down. It’s Jalopy Journal.com. Check it out. Cool site
Anyway, below is a picture of the Thunderbolt they ran.
This quote went along with the pic:
…did state that Gapp was instrumental in making the car work.
I’m going to see if I can find some more pics of this car and a list of the ‘Hi-Riser’ team members.
In the meantime enjoy!
