"The 60 Petty Plymouth is patterned after the car as it appeared in the
Daytona 500 that year.
Since there was some early TV coverage of the
event I think the Petty were trying their best to come up with markings
that would really stick-out on the high banks when racing action was on
the tube."
(Note from Mr NASCAR: "And another Luminary in the world of NASCAR Modelling graces the Gallery! Bill Coulter is one of the legends of this hobby, having appeared many times over the years in Scale Auto, and he has published excellent books on NASCAR modelling - including "The Cars of the King", and "Building and Detailing Scale Model Stock Cars". I am very proud that Bill has sent us these pictures to share!!")
