Sam,

Great write up on a special car with a documented racing history. Excellent pictures as well, love the color, looks like you've had her at Pavilions already. Very nice job.

WOW! I don't even know where to begin. The well-documented history, the vintage drag photos, etc. I just love this car. Of those 62-65 Dodges/Plymouths, the '62's are my favorites(especially the Plymouths!). They just appear so sinister-looking. They are commonly known as the least attractive of that era, but maybe that's why they appeal so much to me. That is NOT a car for impressing females, that is a true Racer's Special. You gotta love that exhaust system with the factory 'dumps'. Chrysler really had some courage to release an exhaust system like that on a production car. Outstanding car and thanks for sharing.

Sam,

Thanks for sharing your way cool Savoy with us! I remember the first time I saw (maybe I should say...heard) it...

It's definitely got a sound you wont forget anytime soon. The amount of documentation that Sam has for this car fills an entire photo album.

Sam is an awesome person...and I am lucky that he considers me a friend of his. His priorities are are parallel to mine...family first...cars, yep...and headlight shots

By the way Chris...the license plate on the back says "MAXSAVY"

Thanks again Sam!

BTW, I hope you don't mind that I added the interior shot, the close up of the cutout shot and the decal shot to your collection of really cool photos!
