I love the Nova but I'm afraid I'd have to ditch the thermo-quad. Nice nostalgia piece but let's be serious! POS

"The cars are a bit loud and probably don't get more than 10 MPG....." BUT WHO CARES!!!!!!!!

I think Dick had a contract or something with Carter in those days. He was their promo man.

Yep, I know of two life-sized cardboard advertising pieces in someone's basement. (Mr. Chevrolet holding the Carter Thermo-quad carb.) Carter was one of Dick's biggest sponsors.

I'll bet there are a few members here that have them also................... or wish they did!

Pictures anyone?
