A nice old lady in TN had this hanging on her storm door to help keep the cold air out. It's a comforter with an NHRA Drag Racing print, and judging from the cars on it... I'm guessing it's from 1971 or 1972. She sold it to me for five bucks!

The only Mopar-bodied car is the Challenger Funny Car, But we know the others had Hemis in 'em, except for the Pinto Pro Stocker...

How old was this "old lady"?? I might be interested in keeping her warm now that she has no blanket.


If you like drag racing, support your local track.

Sears sold those. I had the indy/gp curtains. There is a Nascar version too.

Here's an old auction of the Drag Race version the O.P. posted on: http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/2-vintage-sears-race-car-curtains-54x63-nhra-ihra-+

I've seen the material or unused sets at auto swap meets before.

Nascar version:

No worries about her keeping warm, with as many dogs as she had in the house! That's why the first stop was dropping it off at the dry cleaners...
