Picky, picky me, I know. But this is history and should be true. Thus my respectful correction: It's a late 50s Studie Lark. I had a friend in high school that had a black four sedan, a certified grandpa car. Tucked away under the hood though was a Chrysler hemi mated to a three speed LaSalle tranny. The scornful looks he got were short lived during the Saturday night cruising ritual on Wisconsin Avenue in Milwaukee. Frank in his Studie was soon regarded as no one to trifle with. Great photograph!
oh, look at that, you got too tired to finish your sentence, here, I'll help you out ... than a Ford GT 40 LeMans winning race car with a #1 on the hood.
...or a 1,2,3 finish in 1966, a 1st place in 1968 and 1969. Let's see...my calculator tells me that's 4 consecutive years including the number 1 Foyt/Gurney win. Not too bad considering the 68 and 69 cars were several years old.
