Bill Peterson and Bob Knowles were buddies and members of the Road Knights club. Peterson’s red ’32 roadster (left) was featured on the cover of Hot Rod Magazine. Knowles’ blue ’32 was what guys today call a highboy (although we did not use that term then.) Both cars ran hopped up flatheads. They were outstanding examples of hot rods, especially in the late 1950s when such cars were disappearing. Both cars are still in the area, and Knowles is still building neat cars. Pete Sukalac took this photo in 1958 at the site of the future Lloyd Center.
