Wondering if this is 1967. Check out this photo. Its of Tiny Lund in a Petty 42 Plymouth racing former Petty driver Jim Paschal. Tiny raced for PE in 67 but not in 66. Plus check out the "By Petty" in the 43 B&W pic and the 42 color one. Its darkened vs. the white "Plymouth" lettering. And the 42 and 43 have a lot of the same contingency decals in the same spot. Makes me wonder if the pics are both from 1967 as well as from the same Atlanta race.

I know that they ran blue rims and silver wheels for 66 and 67. I have another pic from Atlanta with the same camera angle but the car has dark rims Here it is. Let me know if 66 is incorrect and I will fix it.

The first pic is absolutely 1966. The tail lights were different in 66 and 67. Those are 66 tail lights.
Pettycash, youy make some interesting points, but I wonder if Tiny might be driving a left over 66, possibly the same car but with a number change. It's tough to tell with any certainty, but the grill and tail lights both favor 66.
The other two pics could be either 66 or 67.

It is a 66 Plymouth. Fall race at Atlanta.

songsmith1950: Sorry I missed this earlier! Yes, the 43 and at Daytona. That was something big my friend. I hope you are all doing well. Aug 10, 2014 16:28:54 GMT -5

Olive Oil: I have a picture of my late husband with Richard Petty. Richard was his favorite driver. Is place I can send this and have Richard sign it? It would mean everything to me. We were married 52 years. May 25, 2015 11:43:27 GMT -5

Carole: I have a picture of my husband sitting on the hood of the 43 car at the 1979 Daytona 500 winning circle. How he got on the hood, your guess is as good as mine!!! he's also on the back of the sleeve of the movie. Jun 9, 2015 13:19:25 GMT -5
