Well Cobrabill does have a point, I always considered the GTO as being the leader of the pack in that regard, thats when it all kind of 'hit big'. No question, the 409, the Pontiac 421, among others 'set the stage'. The early 50's Chrsyler effort was a bit of an anomaly, WAY ahead of it's time it wouldn't 'catch fire' for another decade. Hey how about those 1950-1951 Hudsons? They were tearing up NASCAR.
