Another fantastic item added to our E-Bodies.org free Reference Library. This 1971 Plymouth Salesman Pocket Guide book is from the late Bill Drake Sr. collection. Bill was a avid 71 Cuda fan and anything with a Hemi. He owned the famous Red 1971 Hemi Convertible and many other rare Hemi cars. His Son wanted these to be enjoyed by all of us and sold me a tremendous package of rare and hard to find documents. Keep checking back in to see some of the cool stuff we'll be adding. I can not thank Bill Drake Sr enough for taking such good care of these documents while he was alive and to his son for allowing us to enjoy them now. :worship:

Some sample pages of what is in this book...
This is Bill Drake Sr with Tom Hoover (the Father of the 426 Hemi) in front of his Hemi Challenger. And a couple photos of Bill's 1971 Hemi Cuda.
We used to go to a show in Weedsport NY every Summer. The show was just off the I90 in Upstate NY.....A couple of Summers in a row we ran into the Drake family cruising the I90 in that red Hemi car as well as two 383 convertibles, one yellow, one Tawny gold I believe....
I was driving my curious yellow 71 rag top.....fun times fooling around on the highway....Bill was a top notch quality person for sure :worship: :andyangel:
Bill Jr has been super nice to work with. He was telling me a few stories (similar to yours) about his dad and the fun they had.
Another invaluable service and reference information that makes this site indispensable. Thank you Cody and all others who devote their time to our Mopars.
