Even if you didn`t know who the owner or driver was, chances are the car name stuck in your head. Obviously some stuck in mine!

Rory, found a picture of Mikes car. Mike's a sign painter, the Gold Rush was done in gold leaf.

Jim, Mike Bowyer lived a few blocks from our house in Delta, I still remember seeing him drive that car past our house, all lettered up, and sounding cooler than hell. Made a big impression on my then adolescent mind! I seem to recall there was more stickers and possibly different lettering on the 57, did it look different over the years?
