Whoa! Great shot. Any idea who the photographer was? Also, wasn't this car later converted to the 69 Drag Team car?

I'm not sure how much was changed to make it a 69. It still had the red interior and 68 rear marker lights.

Hubert will be at the 2015 FE Race & Reunion. He will be very available for questions if anyone attends the event!!

Dick Brannan will also be attending the event.

The rumor surrounding this car is it was totaled in a hauling accident. Possibly in 1968. It would be interesting to know if it did survive into the 1970's.

Look at what the Ford Drag Team is wearing. Hubert has the same blue and white pants and jacket. It looks like Danny White is also in the photo of Jim Morton's Fairlane so that would have been 1969 or early 1970.
