My dad's car in the late 60's/early 70's was a 55 Chevy called The Gold Digger. So was Jim Boudreu's cars.

Larry Golliday's "Wild Child" AMX is one of my favorites.

Back in the late 70's when I bracket raced there was a '56 chevy from Pa called Blitzkreig.
It was black and a brassy yellow. Owner was Bob Blitersdorf I think. Also an anglia called the Whoopie Car.I could sit here all night running them off but they stood out. I first used the name American Graffiti on my original gremlin (a 1973 bought new) then carried the name over to my '77 gremlin stocker.

Ed, Blitzkrieg is still alive and well. I remember that car as well when I was just a kid somewhere in the mid 70s

Always thought "Quarterhorse" was a great name for a Mustang
