Notes: Schartman took over driving chores of the "Ugly Duckling" from Nicholson around April, when Nicholson's hardtop coupe was finished. This was the only A/FX Comet wagon constructed; the idea being to get more static weight over the rear tires than the Cyclone hardtop afforded. The entire front end, including bumper, was fiberglass. There's a multi-page interview with Schartman in the 3/65 issue of Super Stock & Drag Illustrated. Times quoted are from that article. By July '64 the wagon had been shipped to Hawaii and was being run under the Pflueger Lincoln-Mercury (Honolulu) banner, with Earle "Safari" Char driving. This was apparently a short-term lease arrangement, as Schartman was back to driving the wagon at the Nationals in Indianapolis later in the year. - RT
