57 chevy drag car ID help

My son saw the pictures and loved them. He is thinking about painting it red, but without the lettering, So we are getting there. It is great to know the history of the car. Thanks again

 

No problem, It would look good Red again.

 

Very cool

 

I just joined Hamb, mainly to answer this post. I have a picture of this car--Miss Red Beauty---that is about forty years old. I was about thirteen when I took it. It shows the owner/driver--Bernadine Perkins--standing in front of the car--red at the time. It was taken at Bluegrass Dragstrip on Nicholasville Rd just outside of Lexington Ky around 1971 or 72. Really exciting to see that it has been found. I also have a picture of her tow rig--an early seventies Chevy one ton wrecker with Chuck's Sunoco on it. I will post the pics when I am able.
