how often do you get to see an official pace car from the ’72 indy 500 in the supermarket parking lot? i remember seeing it once before, but didn’t have my camera, so i made up for it this time. plus, the owners had just gotten out, so i didn’t face that awkward possibility that they would discover me avidly taking pictures of their car. which if you think about it, would seem kinda weird. but anyway. here’s kurt with the car, the back of the car, and, it still has the original (laminated) window stickers. gotta love a piece of history being driven to the market.
and i’ve seen these around town, here and there – one of those 50 cent goody machines outside the grocery store — except this one was selling homies. iiiiinteresting.
RAD!!!!
i am so in love with that car. thirty years old and in mint condition. and at the supermarket. it’s … i bet it’s one fast station wagon, too.
It’s important to be able to make a fast getaway after picking up our groceries.
sure, otherwise the ice cream might melt or something. gotta go FAST man.
Pretty cool!!!!
I just watched a film about racing and Mario Andretti last night….so even more cool that you would have a pace car on your blog! Cooincidence??
