"Dodge Material" Photos & Question

MEMORIES · 07-05-2010, 07:03 AM

Is this Bob Marshall? The car has Coleman & Jackson on the doors and Wilmington, Ohio on the quarters. These photos were taken at Harriman Drag Strip in East Tennessee in the early seventies I believe. Photographer unknown to me.

Too many similarities to be anyone else.

Look REAL CLOSE at the rear wheel (axle) location in the side picture view in relation to the roof pillar......lol. Ya dont need a tape measure to see that not to mention the extra length in the rear wheel well front edge.

My dad had 5 A990 cars. He sold 2 of them fairly cheap, because he did not have the garage space to store them. The 2 he has left he is second owner of both. The one he does not race much, but my brother won Bristol with was from a guy near cinncinatti, I believe his name was Henry shrenk or something like that. The one my dad drives at all the Nhra races now is in fact the Coleman and Jackson car. 2 of the cars have been stolen. A airplane pilot found one in a cornfield covered in oil. We think the people were coming back to get more parts before they burned it to the ground. The daring dodge was stolen out of a guys transmission shop near orient ohio and still to this day has never been found. Roy Johnson won a race driving one of my dads cars, not sure if it was the Coleman & Jackson car, a little before my time.
