Re: Bill Elliott's Old Number 9 Thunderbird

Okay, I think that I have figured it out. The video file was too large. So, I had to trim footage from both ends of it. What started out as a 3:09 minute video has ended up as a 1:44 minute video. Oh well, live and learn… http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll207/sinc64/th_Number%209%20Take%205_zpscj...

Re: Philadelphia Auto Show

Number 4 is a 1967 Ford MK IV. This car competed at the 1967 Le Mans. Four of these streamlined, highly sophisticated prototypes were entered at Le Mans in 1967, and one of them went on to an easy victory. After winning Le Mans in 1966 and 1967, Ford Motor Company withdrew from international racing.

My Slick story starts back around 1995. My oldest daughter was in high school and about to get her driver’s license. She had a whole list of possible cars she wanted to own. Of course, we couldn’t afford any of them! Then, one day she came home and announced that she wanted “a truck from Alabama”. W...
