In reference to the car in the photo above....
“……the car has the stance and look that I wanted. I truly appreciate your efforts to complete the car as I had envisioned it. To tell the truth my wife was a little pessimistic when I spent money on a car so far from home….When Holly [wife] came home from work she immediately came into the garage and after eyeing the car had a smile that rivaled mine.” Martin Casillas, E. Moline, IL

What is a Gasser?
A 'Gasser' is a modified 2-Door Coupe designed with a 'straight-axle' front suspension which creates a unique vehicle stance. This imtimidating stance served a functional purpose during drag racings early years......to provide rear weight transfer as a drag race starting line advantage. Such classic 'doorslammers' were known to be the first type of drag race car to gain company sponsorship. The Gassers became fan favorites as big name racers often ran grudge matches for crowd entertainment. Gassers and Fuel Altered cars were the top drag racing classes prior to Top Fuel Dragsters, Funny Cars, and Pro Stock. The "Gasser War' years are defined as 1955-1968 when they ruled drag strips across the country.
American Gasser has re-created period correct Gassers which are street legal as well as drag strip ready for those who desire to re-live the Glory Days of the Gasser.
