Mark J,On the Bill Flynn "Yankee Peddler". The first paint job (1968/1969) hasBill Flynn with box lettering. Co-sponsored by County Dodge, New Haven, CT. Ran SS/B, was a staple at Connecticut Dragway (NHRA-track). Could get away with a little more than the visitors. More match-racing their, than most tracks. Still can see the Cherry-Bomb mufflers. The second photo, at New England Dragway looks like 1970'. Car with bee=stripe, but as you said, 69' grille. Name now in script, and car sponsored by Chorches Motors, Manchester, CT, and at the bottom of the door the infamous DEB'S Automotive Performance, Milford, CT. Thats when Bill was running Pro/Stock (70'/71'). The third picture with the yellow bee=stripe, Keystone spinners and Kendall GT-1 sponsor looks like a much later picture. I wonder if thats after the car was sold, and the new owner kept the "Yankee Peddler" and Bill Flynn moniker.PC
