Does anyone out there know this car ???? "Quick Silver III" It's a 1968 Olds F-85, and the picture was taken at the 1969 "World of Wheels" car show at the Pittsburgh Civic Center. I am looking for any pictures of it at the Drags. The car was from "Ferrante Oldsmobile" in Vandergrift PA. which is around the Pittsburgh PA. area, and ran at Keystone Dragway in New alexandria PA. as it's local track. The builder/driver was Anthony Ferrante. I know it ran at some tracks in the eastern Ohio area, and also at some West Virginia tracks also. It was a 455 olds powered which was Hilborne injected. Of course it was painted a Silver "metal flake", with black lace and other black accented trim. I know the car ran during the 1969 and 1970 time period, and was later destroyed in a crash of some type. So any more information on this great looking Olds would really be appreciated. I know the picture write-up says "Ferranti", but that is a typo, as it is really "Ferrante". Thanks, azscotty
I am also looking for any information and pictures of a 55 or 56 Chevy gasser that ran at Keystone Dragway in Pennsylvania by Rodney and Barry Kimmel. Not sure what year the car was, but I think it was a 56, and was painted Orange. Both the boys are deceased now, and I can't get hold of any remaining relatives that might have any pictures of the car. The last time I seen the car was at Keystone some time in late 1969, or early 1970. Any help of Information, and hopefully a picture would be really appreciated. Thanks, Azscotty
