Thrush Muffler factory Race Car ?

[WingZr0]

OK just a thought but if Thrush Muffler had a Factory Sponsored race

car what would it be, a Chevy Vega or a Chevy Monza?

Not Z related but I love the way things were made, built and styled in the

hey day of sports cars and road racing like the Trans Am series and the SCCA.

Looking for something to draw basicly that I thought would be cool, but like

to use the Monza body style although the Vega front end looks better.

I take that back, the Monza front end looks good too, must of saw one with

the non slanted nose design first.

Of course the car will be blue but I plan to draw 2 styles with different side

markings to indicate 2 cars on the same race team back I the 1970's with the

bird logo on the doors of one and the numbers being dominate on the

doors of the 2nd car.

Don't worry,.... I'll draw a Z later on. And I have just the Idea too

The only car I ever had that I equipped with a Thrush muffler was a 1952 Ford. It was two tone blue. That was back in '66. I remember the Thrush logo stickers were a "free take one" giveaway item at the time. You seen a lot of cars with the stickers, but no Thrush muffler.:classic:

^^^^Like Geezer said, Thrush deacals but no Thrush mufflers!

Same here, decals, but no mufflers. Heck, as a cheap high school student, I couldn't even afford real Cherry Bombs, I saved a couple of bucks each on a pair of Orange Peelers instead.
