Comments: | Who
did all this fabrication work back in the day? I see the cars in the Vault and I
think about the hours and hours that guys used to spend to build these cars, usually
without a whole lot more than some body panels and a welder, and I'm amazed. Is it that we don't have the time, the skills, the location or the desire to make cars look like cars anymore? I don't remember this specific car, but it looks like they rolled it off the showroom floor, took out the glass, opened up the wheelwells and hung it on a frame and cage. |

10/02/06 | Rob Renninger | Although he worn white driving suits and black boots to race back than, I never saw Freddy Adam without a BIG smile on his face when his picture was taken. It does not quite look like Fred. Could someone else have been driving the car that day? |
10/02/06 | 3-Wide | You're right about Freddy always smiling, but here's a close up:![]() Here's the classic smile that Rob's talking about: ![]() It's Freddy, but I'm not sure of the date. From the car, I would have thought it looked like the early 70's... From the helmet, I'm thinking mid 60's! Also, I don't think it is, but it almost looks like Jackie Evans in the background in the coveralls and I believe he lost his life in 1970. Hopefully you guys will be able to set us straight on the the date, and maybe even the other fellows who are in the photo. Also would like to know a little bit about what a full fendered Falcon was doing at Nazareth... Was this car used on the big track and maybe the bullet stock nose was for aero purposes? Just speculation on my part as I was probably only about 8 or 9 years old when this photo was taken. Thanks- |
10/02/06 | Kevin Cadwallader | The guy in the coveralls is Freddy's brother "Bubbie". |
10/05/06 | Kevin Cadwallader | I was asking my Dad about this car and he thinks it is the one Freddy drove at Langhorne in '66 or '67 but he hasn't seen the picture of the car. My dad Dick Cadwallader built the Bullock 76 cars up until Chamberlian started to drive for Bullock. |
10/05/06 | Mike Shaub | Talked to Freddy last night about this picture. He doesn't remember what year it was, but the guy standing beside his brother is car owner Stan Malamut who owned the #74 gold and red coupe that Budd Olsen and Jackie Evans ran at Reading. I believe that Larry Voss may have driven the car at Reading as well. |
