Smile Re: Platt & Payne Photo From The 60's

I too was lucky enough to have seen those cars and the Hauler. My father was Vice-President of the local chapter of the Ford Drag Club at the time and we had a seminar at Rice & Holman Ford in Pennsauken , NJ with Platt and Payne and the " Ford, The Going Thing " Clinic. Al Joniec , who was sponsored by Rice & Holman Ford was also present. I still have boxes of all the stuff from the clinic including decals, race entry forms and all the Muscle Parts catalogs and information. I even still have my father's Official " Ford Drag Club " jacket !!!
The following day there was a Match Race at Atco Dragway with Norm "007" Fryer and his 66 427 Biscayne and his 69 427 Camaro against the Platt and Payne Team. I have several pictures of the display at the dealership and at Atco. I really need to dig that stuff out one of these days!!! Thanks for showing that photo as it has brought back a lot of fond memories for me !!!

P.S. I still own my Original Cobra Jet car from back then.
