Fentons - even better, one of my favorite cars. Happy to hear you still have it. Does it still look that way? I like stock cars but I see guys restoring these race cars to stock and I’m thinking it’s like making Superman eternally Clark Kent. ��. These cars (especially the dealer owned or sponsored cars) were what everyone wanted when they went into a dealership to buy a car they dreamt of making their car like those . I can’t even imagine restoring the Stephen Pontiac car back to stock Vs as raced . I did a poll once on a website as to which way people would restore, any one of these cars in the photos if found today stock or race . It was overwhelmingly, race . Yet many (some in these pictures) get restored stock .
I almost feel a Responsibility to restore it to as raced to preserve the history of these cars.
I think I have a picture of the 1/4 window on your car somewhere also w the class winner decals etc originally I was drawn to your car because of the Indian. Kind of like the old us GM owners woukd rather fight than switch Indian w the black eye. Was that Jess tyrees car ?
