I still have a small pin of him in that car. I'm guessing it was for on a hat or your shirt, and where I come from it could probley be used as a tie tack too. I remember the day my Grandfather gave it to me. We were getting ready to go to Port Royal to the races. He had a race shirt on and I did not have one so he gave me the pin to wear so I did not feel left out without any racing stuff to wear. I was 7 years old. :)

Now theres a flashback for me...never saw this car in person but saw it in Openwheel magazine quite a bit...I made a model of it when I was about 14... took one of the Brad Doty model kits, bought a Cale Yarborough NASCAR model just to get Hardees decals, used rub on transfers for numbers, and hand painted the rest of the lettering...back in the day before laser printing it was a really fun challenge to replicate somebodys sprintcar as a model... my best guess is that I built over 75 model sprintcars...approx 65 of which were the first batch of WOO kits from Monogram, the rest were the GRANT KING sprint-supermod kit.. I did a few that were my "fantasy ride" as far as graphics, one each of every different kit they came out with, and all the rest were done as cars that decals couldn't be purchased for. The Snellbaker Hardees car was probably the one I was most proud of, because it looked so much like the real car thanks to the Hardees decals I robbed from another kit.
