Rich,yes... the "good old days" guess that is why we try to still hang on to them with our play toys.
Very interesting story behind that pic: It was taken by a man, 14 years old, a car nut then, and still in the photography business now, specializing in race car photos.

I love mine. Petty Car Update: Motor and trans pulled. All chrome, interior pulled, labeled and stored. Blasted 1000 lbs of sand on the gutted engine compartment, body interior and undercarriage. All rusty floors cut out. Just got car moved inside the shop and up on stands. Now the real fun begins.===================================================================== Those pictures were interesting. I remember being at the '63 Golden State 500 at Riverside Raceway. Richard Petty was there along with a bunch of the good old boys. I loved sitting on the corner in the snaky bends area and watching the one front wheel pull off the ground going around the corners. It was cool. All gone now, of course. Rich Kinsley '64 Dodge Polara 4dr 318poly w/goodies ----Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
