    Wonderful!  never seen anything like this before.  I sure wish I could have watched in person back in the day.  Thanks for posting.

    Hmmmmm.

    What's with the '48-'49 Pick-up at 33 to 36 seconds in? Or am I just seeing things?

    See Hudson Merchandisers that Alex Burr scanned and placed on HET site. Multiple references to "shop creating" Hudson Stepdown support vehicles for dealerships.

    That was Darlington S.C. not Daytona.

    Very interesting to see - thanks for the 'heads up', both on that stepdown pickup, and for it being in the wrong area (it has been moved)...

    Thanks for the post. I have the Tim flock videos of Daytona , Darlington and Detroit in '52. How about the scene of Fonty putting out a fire with his shirt, and the other fella getting out of the wreck and the announcer saying, with his girth how did he even get in the car? Marginally sane drivers, ha?
