Bob Glidden Mustangs

The original Nitro 9 car that Brandon and Turnage had was the Glidden car, for sure. The second one was built in Nashville by Fred McMurtry IIRC......the second car was the one that Jeff Velde bought and raced. The first car changed hands a few times after Clyde and Gene sold it. Carl Holbrook did eventually end up with the Glidden car, which he eventually sold in '79 or thereabouts. I was a kid in the seventies.....I remember going to McMurtry's place with my dad when the car Jeff bought was being built. Brandon had referred my dad there to have work done on our '68 Mustang. Absolutely true that there were two......there was also a third car that I don't think they ever ran, but Gene Turnage is the best source of that info.
