I knew you wouldn't let us down, Al.

I'll keep digging for more obscure photos to share.

Any requests?

Anyone?

I do not remember ever seeing the Gold Dust car that Corky has asked about...

I snapped this pic of the well known D5 Stock and Super Stock racer who coined the phrase: "Which way to the p-a-a-a-a-ay window?"

The SS/NA '65 Chevelle convert was an original 327-250 Super Sport four speed convertible.
