I remember the car. It was a root beer brown SS/OA (350/auto?). Not a single decal on it. Bob was very quiet, but not unsocialble. The only visible race item on the car was the Fenton wheels. Even the white lettering on the tires was mounted inside! Back when an enclosed trailer was a show stopper, Bob flat towed the Olds along the Pennsylvania Turnpike with a mid sixties Ford Galaxie four door. Many Super Stock racers dreaded seeing that car roll through the gate.
