That's the only photo I've ever seen of the beautiful Dusty Rhodes car. If anyone has others, PLEASE post them.
I think I see the poor sap that always got to hand-pack the wheel bearings. He was "good at it" so the boss let him do 'em all. LOL [IMG]
Thanks for the clarification, guys. I suppose we all have our strengths & weaknesses. It's apparent where one of my weaknesses is...but I'll...
I've never seen a sign like that...orange/red & black. I can't read the script above the numbers either. As I understand it, Route 66 went south...
Sorry if this one is a known photo, but this is reported to be the remains of Big Daddy's last FED. I had never seen this one before. [IMG]

Does anyone have any info on this car? Thanks in advance. :D [IMG]
I want to thank everyone that contributed to this thread. It took MANY days, but I made it thru all 1350+ pages. This was a great introduction...
