now that is a mix of coaches
Is it terribly warped of me having a mental image of that field of cars leaving the grid and running 20 laps of the brickyard to determine fastest ambulance?

that ford wagon would most likely come out on top as I don't see a short wheel base Olds there

John there is a OLDS Vista Cruiser wagon> If it is anything like the Pontiac wagons that I worked out of as a backup it would probably leave the Ford in a cloud of dust.

did see that one but in those years it would not have been the same. It could have the 425 in it though.

Lead car is a 76 the chrome spear across the corning light is the give away. Or it's a the first year for this body and you guess is correct tough when you start questing your self.
But it is a MM.

Lead car 74 for sure round headlights last year for them the other three are 1970. The only questionable one being the last one but I still vote 70.
The last one is a '73.
