    Let's try this again with a better intro. I found these two boards of photos of Mickey Thompson's Challenger I from 1959 at a local auction and thought I would share them. They appear to be from a display. Possibly a Museum display. They are 11 x 14's in fair condition with typed captions.
    There was a mention of the photos being from Goodyear that made the custom tires for the car. Were they in a Goodyear display?? I will get get some better pictures as soon as I can.
    Anyone know if the Challenger I was ever on the east coast on display ?? We are doing some research and will post as it develops. These are pretty cool.
