Givin' You The Willys #18
Powered by a hi-riser 427 Ford purchased from Phil Bonner, Renfroe raced the Willys until the end of 1966 when he replaced it with Cat Skinner II, another 1940 Willys. The name "Cat Skinner" came from Renfroe's occupation as a bulldozer driver, otherwise known as cat skinners.

Doctor Elton A. Eckstrand
He has never had any formal engineering training, nor has he ever earned a nickel as a mechanic. His approach to the sport is that of an amateur with an analytical mind and a great desire to win. He has mastered the engineering principles that go into high performance cars and is guided by them, rather than reacting to every weird rumor that goes around the circuit. He prefers stocks because they hold the greatest crowd interest and offer the toughest driver competition.
Having won his first major victory with a TorqueFlite Plymouth Fury as a Super Stock Automatic winner in the 1960 NHRA Nationals, Eckstrand was a pioneer in demonstrating that the automatics could give the sticks a run for their money.
But he is equally at home in a manual shift car. Plymouth builds both in its 1964 line-up of Super Stocks. They promise to be hotter than ever in 1964 competition.

First And Last
Phil Hill - Ferrari 246
Phil Hill's victory at the 1960 Italian Grand Prix was the first for an American driver since 1921 and the last for a front-engined Formula One car. It was also the golden age of team headwear.

"Adjusted to my car, now she really peels,
Looking real tough with chrome reverse wheels,
Blue coral wax job sure looks pretty,
Gonna get my chick and make it out to Drag City."
