I believe King Petty has been forgiven for his sins of switching to Ford!

Racing history aside...who could forget this ad. "Man! Whadda differnce!"


He's a legend for sure.

69 Talladega/Torino

he drove Olds early on & Pontiacs later too

84-85 die Cast Pontiac Grand Prix

92-ish Grand Prix

Allegedly the story goes;
Only reason he went to Ford after 68 in the 'Missing Link' RR

for the '69 season'
because Plymouth/ChryCo mucky mucks
wouldn't do an areo car for him
IIRC he wanted a Daytona originally, but he was a Plymouth guy
not the Dodge camp (yet) they were rivals inter co. competitors
