1966 Dodge D/Dart ~ 'Mystery, Myth and Misconception'
Actually no, we are still searching for more info. We are learning what we don't know about D Dart distribution/ aquisition and appropriation systems. Dick Maxwell was probably under hard times with the plant strike. Communication was quite difficult back then. Imagine being told you weren't getting your factory Hemi that year, we have a new S/S package.
A simple match book gives us an address of a dealer that is quite near Banning Dodge. I worked quite near Banning Dodge in the late 70's and the Parson's address was near a lot of street racing activity, not quite Woodward Ave. The Parson's Dodge D Dart was totaled in some sort of racing accident?
Also, was Mohopac a sub-dealer to Albany Dodge and were sub-dealers utilized in the D Dart distribution system. Grumpy came back to beat the Black Arrow in his Chevy II the following year. It is an interesting connection between Bud Faubel, Jenkins, Stiles and Stalh during that time, and obviously Doc Burgess.
