Caption reads..."DAVE BOWMAN
learned a lesson, never loan your motor. He got it back, but not in the
same condition as loaned.
Rounding up parts might keep Dave too busy to make this meet."
From an OCIR program for an
8 car AA/FA show

It's a new one, as you can see by all the
stuff out in front of the front axle, but one of the better looking
new ones.

Mike Sullivan's new ride...the question I
pose, why this paint scheme? How come the old Stars and Stripes paint
job didn't come back?
I think that would have had this car booked solid, if it even vaguely
resembled Mike's old car!
and yet I forget again...no photo credit

Now, here is what I think is the classic
stance for a Fiat Altered. Randy and Dexter Bradford's Fiat, Irwindale
1969. Probably with Frank Harris driving.

Before there was the purple fiat, there was
the blue Fiat...Injected Rat motor, on gas...
Looks like an L & M photo
