Wow,, a Z-16,, what a rare car, even back then,, and a lady gearjammer, interesting. I didn't see any mention of her in Doug Boyce's Junior Stock book. This is the first time I've seen or heard of this car and driver. I notice the tow bar brackets on the bumper,,, that must've been fun,,, I had a few "adventures" flat towing back in the early '70s,, didn't take long to decide to get a trailer. Nice photo, Paul.
