And down the street from the dealership lived the greatest 4 gear shifter that ever lived on a drag strip. No not Sox, etc. but Fox..

Who is this Fox ?? There are several 4 speed racers known to be "the greatest", but I don't recall anyone with the name of Fox ??

"When the Camaros were introduced,Fred Gibb decided to order a Royal Plum Z/28 to advertise his new performance center.To drive the car,Gibb chose Herb Fox,who had worked at Gibb's agency since 1961 and drag-raced a pretty mean '55 Chevrolet locally.On May 27, 1967,the new Camaro arrived and was officially listed in inventory as a "Demo 302 Camaro Racer."

We attended both the Monmouth Cruise In and the LaHarpe Show this past weekend. The LaHarpe show was moved back to it's original location around the town square this year, and directly across the street to the North is the Original Home of "Northside Motors", the Chevrolet and Kaiser-Frazer dealership which became "Fred Gibb Chevrolet".
