Chris' other Eye Candy 1/30 Factory test car

[Chris_Dresbach]

Not sure if it was true or not, but I am just going by what the web site where I found the pics said. Apperantly this car was pulled off the assembly line at random and taken to the proving ground to be used as a standard test car. As in, not a prototype and not modified, but just ran around the test track, hill road, cross country dirt road, water trough, break test, 0-60, etc. Again, no proof, but probably was used as one at one time.[?]

Tach application looks like a natural but that gauge cluster looks like it's listing 45 degrees to starboard. I guess maybe that's the stock orientation but it sure looks weird after years of reading '63-'66 dashes.

Any idea what the label on the dash says, or what the box on the firewall in the passenger footwell is?

Looks likt the decal on the dash is just taped on.

That car was posted here quite a while ago and discussed. The most plausable explanation was that it was possibly a Mobilgas economy run test car, or owned by someone crazy for intrumentation. Strange that the hood emblem is gone- makes it look wierd.
