05.16.12 Jack Kromer Great picture, Anthony. Bonus point question- which coupe is the "Hawk" and which one is the "Weasel"?
05.17.12 Jack Kromer The only difference in the coupes that I can see is the one on the right has a round window cutout, different headers and a higher injector box.
05.19.12 Anthony Jack:  The "Hawk" is in the back closest to the building. The Sedan was the fox. I'm always pleasantly surprised when people remember the cars nicknames. I think you are right about the differences between the coupes.
05.22.12 Jack Kromer Anthony: Thanks for solving the mystery of which coupe was which. I never knew the sedan had a name. Since your family's first three cars had names, did the King cars have any?
05.23.12 Anthony Not really Jack. The three cars in the picture were nicknamed when brand new and it was lettered right on the car. However two other cars did pick up names along the way. Before the original Mulligan Egge #9 body and sheet metal was changed it sure looked pretty ratty. So the old Mulligan car picked up the name “the Rat”. The other was the oldest of the King cars. Because of the rear lift the car had under acceleration it became the “Frog”.
05.27.12 Jack Kromer Thanks Anthony for all the info you post about the 73's. It's always interesting stuff.
