One of the favorites of the wing cars my dad owned was this Petty Blue car. We owned it for about six months in 1979. I loved the Pete Hamilton treatment. This was the first wing car I got to drive. I drove it most of the back from central Indiana and was 17 at the time. A drive I still remember well.

The car was quite rusty in the rear quarters, but ran fantastic, and with 3.91 gears was a real kick to drive. RM23U0A176681. It's been sold several times since we parted ways. Was REALLY rough and rusty by the time it was restored about five years ago. It probably got a whole new rear clip with rails.
