Hello,

We were introduced to the hard running Competition Coupe of Gerry Card at the 1960 Bakersfield Smokers March Meet. In the pits, it looked very mean and fast. It looked like a pin point shape slicing through any obstruction for a victory in the Competition Coupe Class.
March 1960
We were amazed at the shape and design of the coupe. It sounded powerful and made some outstanding runs. As time progresses, the paint color scheme was different, but the coupe was still fast looking and also, fast.

The ad in the Drag News weekly paper in 1964. What a cool race car and power to match. We were certainly surprised at the Competition Coupe being for sale. It would have been a great starting point for anyone wanting a ready to go, rolling chassis and body.

Gerry Card of El Cerrito owned Card Automotive Specialty in San Pablo, California, and campaigned a series of A/FMCs in the late '50s and early '60s. Card set a Standard 1320 record in the Sumner-Burt A/GMC in 1961.
