Blown Legend: '63 Tempest Super Duty Reborn
Schmidt's Beer of Philadelphia, PA had an amazing marketing campaign for 1972. They took out ads in local markets announcing they would sponsor six drag cars for the upcoming season! Little did they know that it would lead to not just amazing looking cars but also help launch the career of a drag legend. The Schmidt's ad read as follows: If you're a Drag Racing Champ, we congratulate you! But if you're headed for the top, Schmidt's would like to help you. Schmidt's Beer is looking for six drag racing cars to sponsor...one each in the following areas: Cleveland, New England, Philadelphia, Baltimore/ DC, metro New York and Central Pennsylvania. Each sponsor includes $1500 for a full racing season, plus $500 to paint your car to Schmidt's specifications. You'll also get $10 per hour for personal appearances. A special end of season runoff gives you a chance for the Schmidt's Championship Trophy. Got a thirst for winning? Get a taste of it. Send the coupon for your official application no later than January 31, 1972. Sponsorships will be awarded on the basis of completed applications. (No telephone calls, please.) Well, one soon-to-be champion submitted his application and went on to set several records. Rudy Rosa raced this awesome '67 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS for three seasons, setting several records, including the record at Keystone Raceway Park in 1972!This 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS sports the paint finish and decoration specified by the Schmidt's Beer Company with their logo on both doors while power comes from a 327-engine providing all the power needed to the drag wheels and tires.
