Pace car crashes - the May 29, 1971 newspaper stories

Postby Alaskan_TA » 31 Oct 2009 18:44

I thought everyone would like to see what the newspapers had to say about the crash of the 1971 Challenger pace car at the Indianapolis 500.

The Vanishing Point movie ads & the dealership ads in them are cool too. :mrgreen:

Amazing Barry, thanks. A glimpse through a window in time. Looks like there were plenty of Superbees being bought and sold. Didn't see any E bodies for sale though.
