This is Bob Glidden's '86 Thunderbird sponsored by the Southland Corporation's labels of Chief Auto Parts and 7-11 Stores. The Thunderbird was raced in NHRA and IHRA Pro Stock. Glidden won the world championship in NHRA with the Ford.  He also was the quickest in both associations with a 7.37 in the NHRA and a 7.21 in the IHRA.
