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.

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.
