I'm watching Stroker Ace while prepping for some builds.
At the point where they introduce "Fastest Chicken in the South", is that a re-painted Brewster Baker Ford right behind him? I mean I know they essentially raped the museums for these films or the Permatex 1977 Monte Carlo wouldn't have appeared.
Sorry, don't know how to do screencaps. _________________ "Dude, it's not Camelot... it's only a model." "Details man, I need details!!" |

Doesn't quite answer the question but, okay. No I'm going to be doing just Stroker and Brewster's cars. It's a double build for a friend. I was just curious about the car I saw. _________________ "Dude, it's not Camelot... it's only a model." "Details man, I need details!!" |

Hey Dave !!! Any inside information on the likelihood that the folks at Southland Corp / 7-11 decided to sponsor Kyle Petty after seeing " their car " in the movie Stroker Ace ??? The timing seems about right... |

Kyle was a good get because he needed a sponsor of his own badly. Stroker Ace was filmed in 1982 for release in '83 so you're spot on about the timing. _________________ "Dude, it's not Camelot... it's only a model." "Details man, I need details!!" |

I've worn out the pause button, but it's either the Brewster Baker car, the Winston show car or possibly both. _________________ "Dude, it's not Camelot... it's only a model." "Details man, I need details!!" |

What color is the interior? It may also have been the Wrangler show car, repainted. I never saw that particular Winston show car but they generally had red interiors. Bud Moore and Elliott cars were spatter gray inside. The Wrangler show car was semi-gloss black inside. |

It was just a pit road glimpse of mostly the hood, but I'm pretty sure what I saw. _________________ "Dude, it's not Camelot... it's only a model." "Details man, I need details!!" |
