97 years old. Pretty good run. He got people to say the darndest things.

Art even sponsored a Top Fueler too!

I honestly thought he had died 30 years ago. Rest in peace, Art. You were one of the great TV hosts and a fantastic entertainer. WC1

i was thinking like John.. also have fond memories of his tv show... had no idea of his involvement in racing Danny?

Notes: Notes: Ewing did the tin; 392 Chrysler by Pink. Guedel was involved in the TV industry as a director/producer of some sort. The car was beautiful in that as noted Ewing built a full nose and tail piece for the car. The car was run until the end of 1968, when it was replaced by the 69 version. Car took part in the then famous Hollywood Lane Parade of 1968. Car was pushed the length of the course with driver suited up and nice looking female seated atop the engine, waving at the crowd. I saw it live on TV way back then.

As always, awesome data from the boss. I saw this at another site...WC1
