Hot Rod did a circa-1963 article on the Royal Pontiac "swiss-cheese" SD drag car and there's a photo of Ace Wilson sitting in the car. That's not much to go on but if you really want a photo try searching 1963 Hot Rod magazines. No, I don't have a copy of that particular magazine, I saw it years ago.

I found a photocpoy of that one, thanks, Bill!

But there's a photo of Jim Wangers standing in front of the swiss cheese car with another guy. They are both in suits and looking sharp (loved that thin-tie look from the early 60s)

Both of them are standing in shoe-deep snow, but there's no shot of anyone "in" a car. There are 2 more shots of Jim and one of Frank Rediker.

BTW: The article is called "Pontiacs on a Diet" and it was written by Roger Huntington. (So the other guy in the photo was not the writer, because Huntington was wheelchair-bound.)

Is this Ace Jr. ???

Mac

EDIT: I'll try to scan this copy tomorrow, but no promises of quality are implied!
