Looks like '67 Barracudas, at the start of the competition, high school students running to the cars & the guys in suits are the Chrysler guys and/or auto-shop teachers. Buddy of mine was a finalist in '69, and they had Road Runners, IIRC. He's pretty much a Chevy guy, but also a racer, fabricator and restorer of vintage race cars.

Sometimes I'd go pick up my daughters from high school about 10 years ago & watch the boys as they headed about. SO MANY of them that had never held a baseball bat, hockey stick, or ever thrown a football in their entire life. You could just tell. I thought it was disgusting.

May be hard to see in this pic but on the lighter (white?) cars I don't see any marker lights as found on '68's......... (I blew up the pic a little, still didn't see them) Regardless, still a cool old photo! John The dream is dead, long live the dream.......😥

They have clearly shown the venue and the Barracudas without any round side marker lights. The 1966 finals was at Detroit. I do not know the car model used. The 1968 finals was at Indy Raceway with notchback and fastback Barracudas that all had round side marker lights. The 1969 finals was at Indy Raceway with Road Runners. Every picture that I've seen has shown all hardtops. The 1970 finals was at Indy Raceway with Dusters. I don't know where you came up with December 1967. Snow and cold everywhere, none on the pictures.

Taught to fix things AND were interested in working on things like cars. I hate the way most young males seem like they couldn't care less about what they are driving, as long as it moves and has a/c. Mom's SUV is just fine for them. Facts are stubborn things.
