"Variety is the spice of life" This time, after a layoff due to a move to the country, I'm bringing you a fairly broad range of car marques. I'm trying to satisfy some of your requests and, at the same time, give an interesting mix. First, I am starting out with one of the traditional rogue shots.
Joe Locario and his wife pose with his pride and joy Alfa Romeo at the Ponca City Grand Prix in the mid 70s. As you can see from the car, he drove for Southwest Motors which, I believe, he owned. A few years later he went to driving in showroom stock races if memory and rumors serve me.
Allan Girdler and kids are seen here in a some sort of weird automotive parade in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma, about 1965 in Allan's Volvo P1800 powered MGTC which was a really neat car according to my husband. Allan, who later became editor of Car Life, then Road & Track and then Cycle World and who has authored more than a dozen books, actually traded the MGTC to a dealer for a Plymouth Baracuda convertible and then got it back because the dealer's wife didn't like driving it. Allan had a good time because a lot of driver's underestimated the car's potential at stop lights. Also, Allan took the car to the national drags at Indianapolis and wrote an article about it, we think for R&T.
