Anybody have pictures of this car? I love the 442 and during some searching saw that a 70s Olds was runner up at Indy in 73 but I could not find any pictures. Thanks

Re: Bill Robinson's Olds 442
 
I've got the issue in question right here. Super Stock and Drag Illustrated, December '73, has all the Indy coverage. Page 25, bottom right, shows Bill's Olds leaving ahead of the "Hard Times" Firebird of Truman Fields. Robinson ran a losing 12.77 to Field's record setting 12.06. You've got to check out the 2 different styles of Motor Wheels on the Firebird,,,and it looks like Keystones on the 442. The MPH for Robinson was 105.63 and for Fields a 115.97 pass. Don't take my word for it,,find a copy and read it for yourself,,these old SS&DIs are a lot of fun!
