Back in the day (1960's) my Dad took me to a Ford Dealership where he had his company car serviced (Falcon Wagon) somewhere in Massachusetts. He introduced to one of their employees (Dick was his name I believe?) that raced a 60's Mustang, I'm assuming Stock or Super Stock......the car was yellow and named: Super Duck or Yellow Duck seems to stick in my memory.....the guy had blonde hair and from memory looked very similar to Ronnie Sox......?????

I was like 8 years old at the time...but that meeting is what inspired me to become a car nut and racer.....LOL My first experience on track was at NED in 1971 with a 1964 Falcon 289 3-speed stick running 15's in X class.....lol

Thanks in advance

Do the names Jack Madden Ford or Robie Ford ring a bell? A friend told me to ask.
Both were performance-oriented dealers from that time frame and area according to
him....

He doesn't remember the car(s) or driver you mentioned though.....

Could possibly have been Madden as it's in Norwood and we lived in Easton....?????

Jack Madden Ford, located in Norwood MA had a yellow Mustang drag car. Not sure what engine was in it, most likely a Cobra Jet. It was called the "Yellow Duck"
