Noticed that '66 has red brake drums behind it's Rally I's.

Was that common with red line tires? I've seen many restored cars like that but never a factory original.

According to information I got somewhere, the drums were painted red with Rally I wheels. I painted mine that way specifically because I'd read it....can't remember where.

Couple pics I received today. First one is Johnny Duncan's Super Stocker and Bill Foder had an identical twin. Bill Foder's is sitting in my garage right now and still sports this exact same paint job.

Here's one a friend sent me - the man to the right was 50 on this day back in 1971.

Cool blacked out tail panel on the Carousel Red 69 400 bird!

This is a good one. Looks a little more like a funeral parlor than a dealership though:

Nope. Not in this pic. I would have probably been in my mid-late teens.

This one's from a local tow/body shop that I ran across while looking for a frame shop. (Which, surprisingly, are hard to find in Southern California.)
