Quote: 6bblgt, I like how you added all that extra info in and high-lighted in about the 64 Polara 440 hardtop's, only after I mentioned it in my post above, lol. Still doesn't say anything about anyone winning any Race Hemi's though.
I'm digging through magazines trying to come up with accurate info, my computer has been locking up so I've posted after some typing and added some missing info.
Drag racing in '64 wasn't the big business it is today. Selling the prize car for gas money probably isn't too far from the truth, but there was prize money involved also. I wonder if Mercury would let him keep it? One of these magazines has to have award/prize/trophy presentation pics with the cars in the background. A voucher (in February) for a car not yet deteremined to be built does not sound logical.
These pics are from HOT ROD April '64. Looks to be one of the convertibles in the last pic. At this point I'll "assume" those are two 383 4-speed hardtops. & the two give-a-way Falcons in front of it?
