And here is my interpretation of the 1962 Indy Nationals.
I posted this on HAMB and got some good help figuring out that Roberta's El Camino DOES fit class - as a POWERGLIDE. In the lower classes, manual and auto cars were still mixed together!

1962 was quite a year - NHRA allowed women to drive for the first time (really???), and Carol Cox won the 1st female S/SA at Pomona (and then again here at Indy) and Roberta Leighton won the 1st Junior Stock female driver here at Indy. Funny all the times I've gone to the dragstrip with the wife, I cant imagine anybody saying "NO, she cant drive it!".

Ford's new small-block in the new Fairlane was their only class winner!
