Did you ever see up close a bike from the 1940’s ?? Well this is an original bob job that was owned by Mr.Baldwin. His nickname was Lucky. Just like the guy who built Santa Anita. Only thing is there is no relation … Lucky (this one) was a L.A. native, working stiff who lived on Fargo Street. His 1927 JD hot rod was last raced at Lincoln Park in 1946. Lucky painted and cleaned up since then and 1991 when this photo was taken. Lucky built a few 4 wheel hot rods also. He and his son also raced a wing tank on El Mirage. A fellow hot rodder and mc enthusiast, I was glad to meet and talk with this old timer. He’s gone now and Glenn Bator ended up with the bike.
