    Is this the former Johnnie Parson's team car that Joe Sostilio drove and later owned by Frank Curtis from Long Island that Wally Campbell drove ? Sure looks like it.

    It is, that shot is of Chuck Weyant driving it at Reading 1956. Shortly after that pic was taken he dumped it over the fence.

    By photographer O. Winston Link, 1956. For you youngsters, this is not a photoshop or paste-up!!! I have a framed litho of it hanging in my dining room - it has all the things a gear head should love in one shot! Gary
    See this link to see how they were made.

    How would you get a giant speeding loco, a bunch of parked cars and a movie running in the background all in one "street" shot from the hip at night with your cell phone camera? Nearly 100 percent of commercial photos are staged, even the ones on the cover of RJ, Hefner's centerfolds, and electrical fans on sale at Best Buy. Gary

    This is Joe Sostilio's 1958 Indy winner's ring. his best friend was the great Jimmy Bryan who won the '58' 500 in the yellow Belond Exhaust Spl. Joe was on the pit crew that year and he and all the crew received these rings. The 90 in diamonds represents the 3 pit stops for a total of 90 seconds setting a new record that year. When Joe passed away, He left me this ring, all his trophies and his Offy engine tools ,but most important to me are the wonderful memories and his GREAT friendship. IMG_0814.JPG

    Same source. Similar to an ad from a couple pages back, and a basic contradiction:

    Wonder if the PBX operator answered the phone saying "Ford Chevrolet"?

    Wonder if this is the same car? Victoria B.C. Canada City Hall 1938 and on a street in Oak Bay at a later date. Victoria City Hall 1938.jpg Victoria golf club.jpg
