Default Re: Fascinating Landy Charger tale



It's getting close to Carlisle time, so I'll be cleaning up the car this weekend. A few weeks ago, when we met Ed Thomas, one of the previous owners of the Dick Landy Charger, at the car show, we also met Chuck Hughs. He had a really nice restored Charger at the car show. We showed him a picture of our Dick Landy Charger and asked if he knew what it was. His jaw dropped and he yelled "I've been in that car!" He said, at the time, the car belonged to Willie Turner. That's who we bought the car from. His name's on the paperwork, but we couldn't read it. He gave us some info on the car and helped fill in more of the blanks. It's hard to believe we just happened to come across someone who had more information on the car. All the pieces are coming together. When we went back over to talk to Ed, to let him know that Chuck had given us the name of Willie Turner as the car's owner between Ed and us, he immediately remembered the name. He said they used to remember the guy's name as Turner because he once turned over one of his race cars at the track.

Again, I hope to see some of you at Carlisle. I'll let everyone know what happens.
