I have photos that I don't think I can post that show two other '61 Impalas running OS/S, one white and one a darker color, as well as two '61...

Update: The '62 NHRA rule book stated that any car manufactured on or after June 1st '61 with equipment not available as standard production had...
Does anyone know exactly when the OS/S class was developed? I know it was after May 7th '61. At what meet did that class first appear? Verne
Sounds a little like my car that I bought in '68, but mine's a convertible. Chuck, if you ever get serious, contact me personally and I can help...

And we can thank Glenn Richards for it!
Yes, the '63 MP car is the Locomotion-II Z-11 car with later lettering. The car is restored now. Modified Production didn't allow replacement...
Which car are you talking about Pat? Verne
I believe that Champion Auto '63s fenders are lettered Aluminator, not Eliminator. Very interesting. Also, the Gatto Belair in some photos with it...
