That's very nice.  Didn't Larry drive this paint scheme as well?  I really like the simpler designs from the "old" days.

I don't know for sure. All ten races for the Bobby Hawkins owned #16 Chevrolet in 1984 were with David Pearson behind the wheel. Larry's major successes came in the Busch Grand National Series which he won in 1986 and 1987. He did start the 1986 Daytona 500 in the #21 Pearson Racing Chevrolet, but I have not been able to find any pictures of that car. Larry's best year in Winston Cup came in 1989 when he started all 29 races and finished 23rd for the season. That year he drove the Pearson Racing #16 Buick Regal. In 1990 he only started 9 races and those were in Larry Hedrick's #41 Lumina.

I modeled one of Larry's 1987 Busch winning cars ..... which was the #21 Chattanooga Chew Chevrolet
