    l ways wondered why they called him "Terrible Ted, My limited experience with Ted was always pleasant and fun. Plus they gave me a break on parts and displayed pictures of my car till the end. Larry could seem a little stern at times.

    I love this. Simpler times and I don't mean to diminish the hard work
    that went into fielding cars like this. Long before professional drag racing
    changed to a major traveling entertainment business, or a supersized version
    of the circus coming to town. This is a quality photo.

    Whenever I see a photo of that Chevy II, I wonder how many others that see it don't notice that it's a four door.
