Dan..... Frank Canaday was also there that day with that '61 blue wagon.
I really loved old Pontiacs back then and saw so many there at Capitol that day I never forgot it. Perzan seemed like a good guy and I think Bob Maxey was also there with a '60 wagon.
Canadays car was the fastest wagon....D/SA I think....
That was a real fun trip for us flat towing from north Jersey.....
My first nice car was a '58 Pontiac......and I was always trying to make it faster. It ran in the 14's a few times driven to the track with the stock 370 shortblock. AFB carb.....Hydro trans......Ah the 4.56 rear was a little sick on the street though. It was a borrowed pumpkin from Craig Muller......He had a real "racecar" '58 F.I. Pontiac and did the trans in my car.....
