Here are a few images and articles from my collection of Automotive Art. These are featuring the 1964 Sixth Annual Daytona 500, with “The King” (before he was crowned) Richard Petty’s first Daytona 500 win, in the new 1964 Super Commando Plymouth painted in the famous Petty Blue.
Also included is an advertisement for the a fun cross-promotion contest featuring the Hurst Shifter and a Hurst-gold painted ’65 Pontiac GTO and tiger-appointed interior. By listening to a recording of “GeeTO Tiger” by the Tigers and counting how many times the word tiger is sung on the record, you could win the car, or other prizes including Hurst products, stereos, albums, and magazine subscriptions. Would like to know what happened to that car – if anyone knows who the winner was, or where that car is now – please let me know and comment below!
Enjoy! There’s more to come…
