Here is 'The White Hilton' backed up into the Penske Racing shops in Reading, PA on the cover of the May 1974 Stock Car Racing magazine.
rYou never know when photos and stories are going to pop up about vintage machines.
Todd Holbert informed us that longtime Holbert Racing paint and body master Michael Wessner posted some photos of 'The White Hilton' a few days ago on Instagram. After exchanging messages, Michael was more than willing to share the story and images with us: 'Around the Fall of 1974 Al Holbert calls Forest Grove Auto Body where I worked. He asked would we be willing to do a hush-hush paint job on a race car for Penske Racing? Sure! When do you need it? Three days! Wish I knew more details.' |
