Charger 500 - One Piece Fiberglass Body

[500Jon]

Hi Aero's,

Happy new Year!

Sorry to drag-up an old thread.....

The Chi Town Hustler was a full plastic Charger-500 body.
What was the Mr.Norm's Charger-500 body then???
Can't find any links to join them together?

Thanx in advance 5J

The Norm car was fiberglass as well.  There were a number of funny car teams that used that Charger 500 body, all were glass.

Thanx Mr.Ghoste.

Lots of history on the Chi Town C-500 as a record breaking car, not so much on the Mr.Norm C-500 Spaulding car?

Norm did well with the car but his main income of course was selling cars and the FC was a promotional tool.  Other teams had to be more profitable.

Thanx Gold Top!

That Yankee Peddler looks STUNNING!!!
Seems that 'Y-P' is a common name for Dragcars?
It has a much nicer side window set up than the other FC-500's I've seen.

In the UK it would be 'ENGLISH PEDLAR'... or something more offensive......

For me being a Londoner it would be COSTERMONGER, doesn't quite have the same ring?

Happy New Year Gold Top!

The 'Yankee Peddler' body looks almost STOCK compared with some of the other FC cars!

Cheers as we say from 5J
