Dino , Nice to see the car of Malcolm Durham , 64 chevelle , I met him that day at the diner a few miles out from dover and he showed me his car and explained all there was to know . always a big fan of his. As far as the Coppola Plymouth , The car sat at his fathers Plymouth dealership in Wspt. Ct in the back field until at least 1969. still in the shape that it was when it crashed at Dover. I went back a few yrs later and the car and dealership were gone. Donny Coppola used to take the car on the Merritt Pkwy and well back then you can guess. I had heard he moved to Fla. many many yrs ago.
1964-Lebanon Valley-Charlie Castaldo’s C/gas ’55 Chevy versus Gramatan Dodge’s SS/A ’63 Polara.
Dodge sweeps 2 straight. Was this the reason Charlie switched to Mopar? 🙄 🙄 😆
Sorry,no pics.
Dino,that must be me 🙄 I’m the only team member who needed them.
No Bossguy,thatwasn’t the reason 😆 😆
I’ll need independent verification from Maso on that LOL 😆
Thought it might be Castaldo …didn’t he wear glasses? …would be cool depicting same day you mentioned.
I really have no idea who that is with the glasses and it certainly isn’t the GramDog. I didn’t hang out much with the Broderick team, I hung in just a little with the Gallaghar team.
The GramDog should know, Larry Nutson thinks it’s Richard Rickman, but it doesn’t look like him to me and I grew up across the street from the Rickman brothers. Unless Richard gained a lot of weight and lost a lot of hair in just a few years and started to ware glasses… 😯
Just to put my 2 cents in ,but the guy in the picture has a Ford racing shirt on (check the right breast pocket ) could it be sombody who ran a Thunderbolt?
Might be it looks like his hands are under the fender maybe loosening up some bolts 😆 😆 😆 😆
Pat
Wow,,,eagle eye Pat. I’ll zoom in on original tomorrow.
……… it could be a trick …. ❓ …… a Ford shirt … ❓ and a white one ………. how did they keep them clean ❓ ❓
Good catch Chas! It kinda looks like Roy Orbison 🙄
