So why bother posting it then? If the driver is next to impossible then the result will be that members will not bother guessing and the thread will disappear into obscurity again.

I think he's being ironic, it says Buck Baker on the side of the car and car #87 means it's a NASCAR Convertible Series race from 1957 to 1959, or Grand National 1972-3.

Ha! More fool me then for making a rash assumption and taking things a little too seriously. Then again it is still early for me and I haven't properly woken up yet. Sorry Dave :thumbsup:

It's a Chrysler, around 1961.

great minds think alike :tongue:

Dad said it was a 1963 Ford Falcon, so we'll see who was right, or wrong ;)

I think you are both wrong and reckon it is a Chrysler (300H?). Just seen Jacob has already said Chrysler, but I agree with him. Maybe 1962?

1962? Give it to Mr. Smithers if I'm correct.
