    I think this may have been a car local to Bowling Green. Teresa Byrd, daughter of the owner of Byrd's Body Shop in BG, used to have one a whole lot like this. Would the "C" in front of the shoe polish windshield number have designated placement in the car corral?

    You're welcome. Some time ago, I scanned them and posted them to Facebook albums, but I figured they would be better appreciated here.

    Those were great days. As you look through the pics notice there are NO trailers in the pits. Most people drove to the Nats. Drove my Stage1 Conv there twice. 900 plus miles each way.

    1972Mach1 Just some M.M.O.G. guy.....

    Awesome pics! You know a car/brand/owners are exceptional when you have "meets" for something that is only 10-20 years old. Would you see that same kind of enthusiasm for a bunch of 2005 Camaros/Mustangs/ Challengers/etc.? I think not. Very, very cool.

    nice, wish the nats had more people now like they did then.
    Any info on the show car (I assume) with the blower set up?
