Hey Bob, that "Bankruptcy" name? Is that one picture from Indianapolis Raceway Park in the 70's? I remember a greenish Camaro that had that or a variation of that name in the 70's. May be the same car, maybe not.
Car names were always cool. I remember a 62-63 D/G Nova, local car named "Poppin Fresh".
Another one I recall, a case where the owner of the car made the name. It was a homebrew AA/GS owned by Ed Allen, I think that was his last name, forgive me, I'm going back 35-36 or so years, had "BIG ED" painted on the side. Big Ed was a character. He worked on that car out of a little one car garage, I'll use that term loosely, attached to his house. First time I met him, he shook my hand and then yelled out "Mommy, cook these boys up some of that fresh sausage and feed'em a sandwich, they look hungry"! Ed was to put it kindly, a big guy. The car would be a deathtrap by todays standards. A crude frame with a blown 392 Hemi bolted to it.
