Ron Garey's 68 olds

Jim the 70 car according to Dad was a one-off color for the auto show only, it was between red and orange also the stripes were carried over the roof and trunk same as SS chevelles. I remember when the car was delivered to Chesrown and dad took one look and didn't want it because it was so loaded it would have been way too heavy and it was a shame to tear it apart but the guy who delivered it said this is what olds sent and it was his. The car was later sold to a Dentist in Maryland? Sure would be nice to find it.

I remember reading an article that was printed about 1971 about a fellow named Jack Robinson that raced with your dad for a while that was a dentist. I think it was the same article that had a picture of your dad on top of the hauler with the '70 and '71 cars. Coincidence?

I forget to mention, Olds did have a red/orange special order color called Rallye Red that was only available on the 4-4-2 or W-31 that year.
