There were 3 cars in the photo, a 63 galaxie, and next to it a 62 Catalina, and in the row behind it a 63 Catalina. The 62 was number 35" and my wife and I saw it at exactly the same time and we both said "it's number 35", see the number I raced in my signature photo you'll see the interest I have in Pontiac race cars with the number 35 on them. It as a black and white photo and the car looked to be white with darker lettering on it, does anyone have any idea who drove it or who the car owner sponsor was? I had never seen a photo of this particular car anywhere before and would like to know something about it.

From your description it sounds just like the photo I was looking at Hobby Lobby last week! It was a Black & White Photo mounted on a MDF like frame. You can buy it too…I was thinking of buying it to add to our garage art, but @ $30 was too expensive IMO. If you wait, they always reduce prices by 50 to 80%. The image was located in the “Man Cave” section.

The photo: It has the Ford on the left, the 62 Poncho next to the Ford on the right, and the 63 is coming from behind both the Ford and 62 Poncho. Another reason I didn’t buy it was it shows more of the Ford than the two Pontiac’s. Still a neat photo though.

That's the picture, I did some looking for info on the car , driver, and sponsor, The car was raced by Ray Hendrick of Virginia and the car was owned and sponsored by Rebel Racing. It was ran at only 4 NASCAR races during the 62-63 season and they were in and around the Richmond Va area.

Hendrick went on to race NASCAR Modifieds and was somewhat successful, from what I could find the 62 Pontiac never fared too well in the races it was entered in.
