I guess so Brian. I used to see "DON GARLITS " race before he had a rear engine dragster.
I remember when Connie Kalitta stole Shirley Muldowney from her husband.
The running joke in my family was that I got into drag racing when "General Motors " was only a private.
Newby, you beat me to it. For a car that didn't stay, it seemed to do well for the short run. And the '61 Meteor Convertible, man what a design on that rearend. I have always thought the Canadians did REAL well with the 50's Ford designs. That is the first picture that I have ever seen of a '61, and my personal opinion is that it is Beeeautifulll!!!
I see a 59 Dodge up there too. The front end of those are MEAN looking! I think they should have used those for the Christine movie! :eek I sure wouldn't want a haunted 59 Dodge breathing down my neck. LOL
