Don & Roy Gay

I have a special interest in Ramp Trucks so I thought I would share this. Anyone familiar with the Gay brothers or this advertisement ?

Re: Don & Roy Gay

Here is some information on Don. One of the Pontiac drag racing legends of the 60's and 70's. Their family owned a Pontiac Dealership in Texas.

Re: Don & Roy Gay

How about the fuel tanks stuffed under the rock panels? Tight fit

Re: Don & Roy Gay

I have wondered what happened to ALL OF THE MANY race car haulers from back in the 50's to 70's, there must have been several dozens of them and with all the rage of racing memorabilia you'd think they'd surface, maybe they were all worn out and scrapped?

Secondly, man o man that think must've been an absolute dog lol

I like the old car haulers myseft too. I would love to have one that looks just like the one here. I think they are still the coolest around.
