Another great photo. In the early years (1970's), they only ran at a few tracks. Michigan and/or Daytona (superspeedways), and Riverside (road course) were usually on the schedule.

Here's Richard Petty, A.J. Foyt, and Brian Redman (SCCA driver) at Riverside in 1976.

Maybe to keep road debris from damaging them.

my guess is it's the old school version of that white film they put on new cars now when they're on the transports... Notice that the two vehicles that have it are on the front. That lower one would probably be especially exposed to dirt and grime...

Here's a great photo. How would like to see this group in your rear view mirror?

From 1979 : Mario Andretti, Cale Yarborough, Bobby Allison, Alan Jones (F1 Champion), Tom Sneva, and Neil Bonnett.

In 1969 my parents bought a new Butternut Yellow Impala just like the sedan on bottom. It had black wall tires and yellow wheels with dog dish hub caps, the same black body side molding with anodized side window and wheel opening trim.
It had a 2 bbl. 327 and a Powerglide, and I remember the only options being A/C and power steering. Manual brakes, black cloth interior, AM radio. $99 a month for 36 months. Three days out of factory warranty and the water pump let go on a trip.

Do you really suppose the car belongs to one of them or is it just a prop for the photo?

Thanks for the link. Their dress, general appearance, and music indicates they are locked into a 30 year old time warp.

If I took my Formula to the casino with title the Indians would probably own it before the concert even started....
