Re: race car pics from the early 70's
Great pics Jeff!
Thompson Chevy was on the corner of Addison & St. Charles in Villa Park. That was my hometown dealer,that I spent many hours at and bought three cars & many parts & memorabilia from.That soon became Larry Roesch Chevrolet,but then moved to thier Bensenville location shortly thereafter. I think Payton Chevrolet is where Gary Langs Auto group is today. And of course Long Chevrolet in Elmhurst...Pie in the face for timmy!

Re: race car pics from the early 70's
Too cool.
... raced moto at Lake Geneva, and the hill after the first turn crossed just behind the staging lines. Recall a chick streaking the quarter at a "Van-In" one Sunday, too ...
