Dino,
Any attic mice running around with the 66′ Biscayne wagon. The ‘Bad Banana IV’
A 427/390HP engine, the car ran in SS/J in 70′ (?). Owned by Ted Hartman, from
upstate-western New York,,town of Salamanca. Had the staggered front-end and few other tricks. There is a photo of his car at Dover, spectator-side..coming off the line..
Now I have to go search the site…

Really, there were a few of them..Hartman Chevrolet,,Salamanca, New York..The Bad Banana originator. The 66′ Biscayne ‘Bad Banana IV’, I guess ran F/S and then SS/J, in
69’/70′ ?? Another 427 cubed wagon,,,like the “Pied Piper” (Mr. Valentine)..
The yellow 66′ wagon was at Dover,,like all famous cars should have been 😀

An Italian from New Jersey, goes to York, PA with a yellow 57′ Chevy,,races and wins at the
Super Stock Magazine Nationals with a car called the ‘Banana’,,and takes home a
69′ Cougar Ram Air Cobra Jet….AHHHHH,,Americana at its Finest 🙂
