Our old car is alive and REALLY WELL !!!

I was so honored to see the Nov . issue of the Hemmings Muscle Machine Magazine. Fred's 1970 Olds 442 W-30 car is on the Front cover. They did a real nice piece about the history of the car. It now lives in Arizona with one of the nices guys you would every meet. Oh how many times did Bret Mc Farlands corvette run against us for Class . Boy those were the days.

Enjoyed reading the historical background of the car. Nice to see and hear from great people. CR

I haven't seen the issue yet, but will look for it. I remember the first time I saw Fred's 4-4-2 at the Indy Sportsnationals back in the early '80's. It definitely inspired me to get to work on mine.

Was a very nice article and had a lot of info on Fred and Jo Ann.

That Cutlass and the Connells were always favorites at the Hill, among fans and racers alike.
