Great pic.

Re: Detroit Guys: Jim Funston or Merollis Info?
 

That's a neat picture. I love that Corvette Bronze '67 RS Z/28. What's goin' on with that vinyl top? It kinda looks like one of those Mod Tops from Chrysler. By the way, we even had a Merollis Chevrolet here in St. Louis that sold performance cars back then also. When I first seen the ZL-1 list, I kinda wondered if it was supposed to be he Merollis in St. Louis.

Any idea who the driver of that Mod Topper Z-28 drag car was?

The 'Mod Topper' had a fancy top installed by Reasonable Trim which was across Gratiot Ave. from Funston Chev. It was a sales promo thing.

I don't know who the driver was on the Z.

Resurrecting an old thread but I have this tool from my Grandfather, it's as old as I am and still works as good as it did when it was brand new. I thought you might like to see it.
