Do you think that is the same on as the 1964 sponser picture? What do you guys do there at "Tom O'Brien?

the pic of the real car may have been taken at either Indianapolis Raceway Park or the Indiana State Fairgrounds. both of which held USAC races back then.

Tom O'Brien has been a Mopar dealer in Indy since 1933. first with DeSoto and Plymouth and later with Chrysler/Plymouth and now at our location, Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge in Greenwood. in 1964, Tom O'Brien Co consisted of two locations: Virginia Ave (later moved to Greenwood) and the 'new' Northside Chrysler-Plymouth on the northside of Indianapolis on Keystone Ave.

it was common in those days for drivers/owners to pick up sponsorship from local car dealers when coming to town for races. this is why I feel pretty confident it's the same "Tom O'Brien Co".
