DHPC-Quaker State trailer

[sYc]

While at York, had a gentleman who knew I had a DH funnycar come up to me and tell me about an interesting "barn find". Seems the semi-trailer that Quaker State loaned to Dick Harrell is still around, with the Quaker State logo and the name Dick Harell though really faded, still visible on the trailer. In rough condition, sitting in out in the elements with grass grown up around it. Talk about an interesting (and huge) piece of memorabilia.

Cool story Tom. . Any pics of the trailer from the good ol' days....or now? .
If the trailer isn't worth bringing back to life, would the sides w/ the faded paint be good as 'garage art' nailed to a shop wall? .

I bet it was " a treat" loading and unloading cars in that thing. I am guessing they used the same method as ramp trucks back then, a couple of planks.

Cordova had a grass dock that those trucks could back up to. Still needed planks, but not that scary.
I can't make it out in that picture. Is that Gibb camaro red, or purple. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Break out a few clean rags and a fresh can of lacquer thinner boys. Sheep are lonely again in Wisconsin. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif
