Absolutely endorse this, I've wished for some time, that these vintage pics could have their own thread, but, much to Steve's dismay, I encourage the pics of specific plants to be grouped together, rather than everything mixed up. It would help us see each plant's procedures in an organized manner. I'm not very good with organizing but I would be willing to help with this in some way.
As for years included, I think 1962 was the start of the factory supercars for drag racing. The big 3 were building some amazing combos that led to where the genre eventually went. Maybe end with the 1972 models ???

What thru me was the exhaust blackout which has been discussed just lately, but only for 63s. Apparently this blackout extends into the 64 production year. I'm almost posative the blackout like this did not extend into 1965.....Bill S

This is a great example why I feel the plant photos are so important

Keith,
With someone with first hand knowledge, I like the chaff.
