Peter, I GOTTA say a GREAT BIG THANKS for taking the time to post these pics. I also MUST give credit to Bill Truby for either taking and/or collecting these pictures. A few things I've noticed here:
The Tri-Five wagons have a longer wheelbase than the Sedan deliveries. While it was acceptable and pretty much the norm for the day, those cars that sat so high in the back looked bad and couldn't have "worked" the way we do it today. The slicks sticking out of the wheelwells, the "radiused" rear 1/4s, And I REALLY miss naming the cars. How can you not like "SUCKERPUNCH" on the Camaro a few pages back. In my opinion, That era was the beginning of the end of class racing. Electronics were in their infancy and Bracket racing was right around the corner.

Since the predominate cars in this thread seem to be Camaros, I though I'd post this one.
George owns a plumbing business here in NJ ("down the shore") and is still kicking around. He's also more well known for running this car. Verne |

No, the '59s rear didn't lift at 90mph '60s didn't either Supinski again. Later in '69 he changed the paint scheme and was factored down to D/S Verne |
