And sees it's fair share of track time on top of that!! If I remember the story correctly, Frank's mother-in-law co-signed on the loan for the car! (Kinda makes ya feel about all those mother-in-law jokes!!) Lots of folks question the addition of power windows and air conditioning to the car, but as Frank so "frankly" puts it, "it gets HOT in St. Louis!"...and since this was his only car for quite a while, some creature comforts were definitely in order. But this car is definitely one of my personal favorites, because of it's original owner heritage and the fact that it was sold here in my home state. And I've been fortunate enough to see the car on a fairly regular basis, as Frank and the Chevelle haven't missed a Supercar Reunion since their first time back at SCR2!
