Check out this lineup of Grand National drivers of the 1965 season from the Summer issue of Racing Pictorial magazine-
Racers all.
Racers all.
I remember about half of them, Thanks
Thanks so much, the '65 issue is one that I'm missing. The middle bunch are USAC though, that's why Goldy and the other Hemis show up in the early season publication. I've never seen that Tiger Tom dark colored '64 before. All I've ever seen is the light blue one. I might just have to build that one. Could you scan and post the black and white stock car photos from that issue? Please, please, pretty please with STP on it.
might be a lil off, but as near as I can figure, the drivers pictured here account for 656 wins, 16 NASCAR Championships, 15 Daytona 500 wins........
Man, do I ever miss Buddy Baker's racing commentary.
happy to help, Mitchum. The summer '65 issue is devoted mainly to Indy, but one of the covers has a couple nice pics-
There are a few other b&w pics but most are too small to be of value to a modeler. Here's a page with a nasty wreck from a Daytona qualifier:
You might already have the '64/'65 Annual, but it has some great color reference pics including ol' Elmo before he swapped a race car for the pace car-
..and "Wendall" (sic) Scott
Thanks, I've got both of the '64 books but not either of the '65's. That's a great shot of the record setting Dodge that I didn't have. Thanks again
Man, it look like they brought those cars from the dealership and then converted them into racing cars.
Kinda sad I was born after that era.
I remember reading this one time, but can't find it now. I believe it was Buck Baker who once took a Hudson Hornet off the showroom floor, drove it to the track and raced it, changing nothing but the tires.Man, it look like they brought those cars from the dealership and then converted them into racing cars.
