Cool, but if you get a chance you need to make it to Burbank one, it's pretty cool and has the most history.

STREET RODDER
Tommy Ivo T-bucket Among the first to join the bucket brigade.
From the September, 2009 issue of Street Rodder
By Dain Gingerelli

Back on the street, Ivo and his T often could be found lurking about at Bob's Big Boy drive-in restaurant near Burbank. This was the local hot rod hangout during those days, and typically guys with fast cars who were trolling for a drag race would head to Bob's. Once a street duel was organized between two cars, everybody would head out to River Road (now called Forest Lawn Drive--irony of ironies) to race. Again, Ivo claims that his little bucket of speed was never beaten there.

Tommy Ivo T-bucket
TV Tom has a little fun with his Burbank friends. The car still wears its trademark whitewall race slicks on the rear. A Stromberg six-pack feeds the nailhead Buick engine.

TV Tommy IVO - Buick Roadster - Hot Rod Magazine
http://www.hotrod.com › In Their Own Words: TV Tommy IVO -
Tv Tommy Ivo Buick T Roadster. Buick Power-T Roadsters "We used to haunt Bob's [Big Boy in Toluca Lake, California], and there was Grabowski's roadster sitting over there. I thought, Boy, that's about the slickest thing I have seen in my life. I asked him, 'Would you mind if I built one just like this?' So I built my first roadster. If a Buick motor ran that good in a big, heavy car, it would run good in the roadster. So the roadster was made primarily for going over to Bob's. Of course, we'd choose off each other. We lived American Graffiti. Three blocks away was the bridge over the L.A. River to the River Road [Ed. note: now Forest Lawn Drive]. We'd race back and forth over there, and then we'd come back to the Burbank side, because that was the L.A. border and the cops wouldn't come over here and bother you. Then we'd drive like little angels back to Bob's and start the whole process over again. My parents grew up in the Great Depression, so they instilled the value of money. [My mother] wouldn't let me have the money to build my first roadster, so I went out and got a job as a shipping clerk packing boxes for a giftware company to make the money for the first street roadster."
