Those first pics were trans am cars and the sportsman pics I noticed david pearsons #21 ford in the pic so that would make them grand national cars I think,neat pics thanks for shareing them.

The NASCAR rules back then only allowed you to run a body style that was less then 3 years old
in the Grand National Division. The 21 car is sandwiched in between a '64 Comet and a '61 Ford.
Maybe the Modified/Sportsmen were coming in and the Grand Nationals were coming out?
Here's a couple other shots - if you look closely you can see the Winged Warriors!

[b] Found another shot from Daytona in '70
That Chevelle must have had a hard time keeping up with those flat nosed Fords
and the Winged Warriors!
