Title: Garf Peacock 1957 Chevy Diamond Class cars Barrie Speedway
Post by: Rod Statsman McLeod on April 15, 2018, 04:17:41 PM
I build this pair using the old AMT kit and the newer Revell Black Widow. Garf Peacock drove these cars in consecutive years the all yellow post car in 1966 and the black roofed car in 1967.  I guess he liked those white walls. In those days the Diamond class was a cheaper alternative to the Late Models and had to run on street tires.
