To add a personal note to this conversation, the sponsor of the this car as indicated on the flanks was Westlake Dodge. This was a small dealership in Daly City (at the Top of Hill…some may get that reference).
My father bought our 1970 Dodge Polara sedan from that dealership and I can still remember sitting in the backseat of the car with my 2 brothers as he drove it out of the showroom lurching to a stop as he got used to the power brakes. I can still smell the vinyl.
Made me a Mopar man for life.

The dealership became a Pontiac franchise and today is a big box pharmacy.

Longtime Mopar Racer Bill Tanner Passes
Bill was the South's premier Mopar racer, beginning with a slant six Lancer. His 413 '62 "Ramcharger" was virtually unbeatable until the Hemi came along. He briefly campaigned a rare 1966 "D" Dart, named the 'Lil Ramcharger', while assisting Larry Lawrence on his former Ramcharger owned '65 Hemi Dodge.
