Default Parnelli sitting on the hood of a '57

June 8, '63, the week after winning Indy.
Soldier Field, IL.
Don't know why he didn't start @ Milwaukee the next day...
Nice shot.

I bet he was feeling either tired or wealthy. Roughly 10 years later, Firestone was using his name on the sidewalls of their performance tires. My stagnant G60-14 Parnelli's on 7" chrome reverse finally gave up about 5 years ago.

Cool picture!



OWWWW I’d love to have those tires for my TA. I’m on the hunt for some larger font white letter tires. And I really like Firestone’s. Car has FIREHAWKS on it now that need replaced.
