Grand Spalding Dodge

The older guy in the one picture is named Lucky. He was one of the first Sport Club members from GSD. I met him at his house that day and he took me over there. I believe he was the driver of the FIRST Grand Spaulding Dodge race car. No, not the 64 Dodge 330, but his own car, a 63 /6 Dart GT. He won the first trophy for the dealership and used to run his car with banners taped to the sides of his Dart that looked almost just like the graphics painted on the 64 race car. If anyone has ever seen the book titled "American Car Dealership" or something of that nature, then you have probably seen the picture of Lucky BITD with his 63 Dart in front of the dealership. The trophy and jacket he has on his car are still his. That picture hung in the showroom at GSD for years. I gave him a copy of the book and he was unaware of the picture being published. It really took him back. Here is a picture of him with my car and that same trophy and jacket holding the book.
