Anyone have any pictures of the Fenner Tubbs 63 Plymouth Max Wedge car? I would really like a picture of the interior and exterior. I have found several pictures of the 65 altered wheel base car but none of the 62 or 63 Max Wedge cars. Thanks for any help you can give me.

It was a Black Savoy. Texas car but from what I understand they were fairly successful in the early years. Does Joe Smith or any of his crew ever come on here? I am pretty sure he would have some pictures or know the information I am looking for. Tia

Here you go. This is one of my favorites. Tom

The last car is actually a '65. I do not have the '63. Here's the AWB though...

Joe Smith still builds race cars in the DFW area.He receintly lost his son who raced mopars in the DFW area.I know there are members of this site who are close friends of Joe.I'm friends of his brother who lives here and is trying to get a car together.I remember is black sayoy and other cars he raced( I thought they were Hemis) who were sponsered by Fenner Tubbs Chrysler Plymouth in Lubbock.Your making me feel old.

I have friend Named Tom Adams that lives in Abernathy that told me a lot about the Fenner Tubbs cars. I also talked to Joe one day a few years ago. The information that Joe told me was that they started out with a 62 Maxy but it was not black, but every car after that was black. Of coarse they progressed to a 63 car when they came available. What I am looking for is the interior color of the 63 as I would like to build a Pure Stock tribute to that car. Just the way they would have received it from Mopar.

Tell Tom hi,You might try contacting Joe direct. I'm not sure this is a valaid number but try 972 484 2855

I have several photo's of the 65 car but nothing earlier. This was always a first class organization. Most everthing on the car was either black or chrome. The Fenner Tubbs dealership was Plymouth only. The back of the big Dodge truck that carried the car said "Heavy Duty Plymouth". Don't know all the details but after the altered wheel base days he went to work for Don Grotheer as his mechanic. I guess after that is when he started he shop in Texas. Terrible news about his son, what happened? Joe is one of the good guys.

Some pics of the 65

Thanks to all that have responded. I will contact Joe and see if he remembers or has pictures of the car.

Please post anything you find.
Thanks,
Bill

I don't have any pictures but a lot of momories of the '62 and '63 season at Amarillo Dragway and the Fenner Tubbs car racing the Dickie Harrell cars.

I know the 63 was black, do you remember what color the interior was?

I wonder if this one was once a F-T car. The city is the same, and it looks to be highly modified much like the F-T cars.

Tommy Joe Smith was the driver/mechanic on the Fenner Tubbs Cars and went onto be a world class SS and Stock chassis builder. "Joe Smith Race Cars". If you go to the NHRA web site and look at the results for 1965 you will see Joe won the finals that year in his class.

I thought they looked similar, and the Lubbock, TX address gives it away. I was always a fan of the FT car(s). Black B bodies are like beautiful wimmen (I know it's spelled wrong). You just can't stop looking at them.

I have a few pictures of the 63. My Dad, Joe's older brother drove it before going to Top Fuel. Also have a few of the 62, the yellow car that my Dad jerry Smith drove.

It was a Belvedere. Here all this time I thought it was a Savoy. Do you have any pictures of the interior? Thank you very much Randy.
