RETRO BABE OF THE DAY.

I remember this picture and I'm still curious why there's a '51 plate on a '55 car? 

CA used to stamp plates with the year the series started.  These black plates started in 51.  The next plates started in 56 and were yellow with black letters and are stamped 56.  Stamping the starting year of the series stopped with the next plates that were Black with Yellow letters.

Thank you, sir! That explains it nicely.

Shay Nichols. That brings back some memories. She was from Abilene, Texas. Family had big money and she loved cars. Her husband, Phil, was the wrench along with Shelby Jester. He had a Hemi Barracuda and they campaigned both together. Shelby's wife was looker as well. She was always around the pits in hot pants. They bought both cars to high school one day in probably 73 or 74 for car club day. Last car Shay drove that I saw was 75 Dart P/S. Her and Phil divorced and they got out of racing. He still lived here until a year go. He passed away. Nice guy and love cars as well. He could talk about building and racing Hemi cars for hours.
