Willie did not much care for the Wheels that they gave him for this ad. The next week after ad was finished, he put the car up on jacks and sold them and put his old wheels back on. Back in those days, Willie was give way more products than he possibly could use on his race cars and the manufacturers knew that he sold a lot of the extra stuff (Often to me) to finance the Clubs operations.
GTX John, here's a better photo of that ad...maybe you can explain a little more about the days events leading up to this photo, or where was it taken etc...it sounds like he was a hell of a guy.
