There was another Healey 3000 with a Chevy in it at the 1961 or '62 Indy Nationals. On the door, it had a picture of a whiskey bottle "OLD GRANDDAD." On the trunk lid was another, similar picture and the admonition:"You've just been HAD by OLD GRANDDAD!"

Re: Cool race car names!
 

I am currently building another car and I put NEVER Satisfied on it because it seems no matter how hard I try I never am.

Re: Cool race car names!
 

Kim & Wilbur Wright's "Wright On' C/G Cuda. Now that takes me back. Their previous car was a '66 Dart C/Gasser with the same name. After it rolled at OCIR we called that one "Wright Over". Kim wasn't hurt so we could laugh about it later. The Cuda was a much better car once it got sorted out. There were a lot of neat names on cars in the sixties and seventies. It was a great time to have been introduced to the sport.
