Plasticfanatic Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 I hope a forum member can help with a little info about the Bob Glidden race team of 1978 seasson...of which I am almost finish with the undefeted Fairmont car show above. My very good friend and vintage pro stock information mentor, Norbert L. gave me as a gift one of the long Galaxie LTD. trailer kit, so I can do the Glidden race transporter as a back drop for my Fairmont. The problem is that I can not find a picture of the 1978 seasson trailer, only the 1979 which is painted in the Dodge Aspen color configuration, red/blue lines and "Glidden race cars" in blue letters and the latter 1980/81 all blue Motorcraft one. Do anyone have a picture of the 1978 seasson Glidden transporter, any help will be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320wayne Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Sorry Fred. I have a bunch of pictures but it sounds like I have nothing different than what you already have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasticfanatic Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Wayne, Thank you anyway I know this particular details can be dificult to find as visual info but once more, appeiciate your help. I will paint the trailer in the late 1978/79 colors and graphics, I think it will be correct and since the trailer was still been used in the 1980/81 seasson before the all blue/ white Ford Motorcraft colors where painted. Also I made the mistake in the name of the Dodge used by Glidden in 1979 seasson, it was not an Aspen...but a Dodge Arrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320wayne Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Well just in case I might have something that you don't here are all of the pit shots I have that would represent a hauler from the time you are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
