11.16.11 Dave Schittler Comment: This is 1973 and I'm pretty certain it is from opening day. That was one of the few occasions when there was fresh paint on all the wheels and the lettering on the tires was also painted. If not opening day, it must have been very early in the season based on the condition of the body and paint. I believe the person standing behind the car is the man who painted the Meals #44's for years at Stitzer Auto Body in Fleetwood.
03.03.12 Bill Katinowsky I actually snapped this photo during Saturday warm-ups the day before opening day in 1973. Used my Keystone camera with Polaroid film. Surprised that most of my Polaroids are still in good shape after more than 30 years.
