[Ghoste]

[nascarxx29]

Rarebird gave me a Pm as to that back in the day picture .Hopefully more can be found out

[odcics2]

There is a Jackson Michigan, but also one in North Carolina.    Interesting story, for sure!!!

[nascarxx29]

I found this and sent it for rarebird to check it out.I also found the blog where I seen the picture and sent that for him to try to get direct contact from orig source.The blog I seen it on mentioned nothing about car being Pete Hamiltons though hes pictured in it .Blog just said heres a superbird blah blah
‎

Another site I found had this mention of a MI prior car dealer employee

He and Carol married in 1970, and he joined the [[[[Summit Township Fire Department]]]], sold cars at Jackson Chrysler Plymouth and worked at some local factories, ...                                                
                                                                      AKA  Summit Township Fire Department Administrative Calls, 2121 Ferguson Rd, [[[[[Jackson, MI]]]]

Nascarxx29 thanks again for all your help.  I didn't even think to compare the person in my car with anyone else.  Uncanny resemblance.  If ANYONE has contact information on Pete (full name Peter Goodwill Hamilton) it would be greatly appreciated!  As for my car, it's funny that if you look in the picture the rear wing horizontal bar is pointing down.  It's still that way today.

I did see a 1973 article mentioned Pete Live in Atlanta.And on another search I see him in another superbird picture a B5 car in the background

A car collector Todd Werner has his #40 car he might have been incontact for researching that car

Uncanny resemblance to whom?    I assume you are talking about the Jackson Chrysler-Plymouth photo.

[nascarxx29]

He might have been looking at the car lettering and wing angle and didnt notice Pete was in the car
I was wondering how Pete H looks nowadays found this from 2003 at 6.09-

That's not Pete Hamilton.   Not even close.  

[nascarxx29]

I photo shopped 2 pictures thought the guy had sideburns guess not

[odcics2]

That's not Pete Hamilton.   Not even close.  

Looks like Jack Bunson.  Those of you with old, vintage MIS programs will know the guy. 

[1RareBird]

I was looking at some old pictures of Pete and comparing them to the guy in the drivers seat of the superbird.  A lot of facial features look the same including hairstyle, facial structure, nose, chin etc and they sure seem to match. It's either Pete or a guy that looks like him.  Won't really know until I get a hold of him to find out.

[moparstuart]

for sure they share  strong facial features   

[nascarxx29]

Similar big ears apparently on the 2 photos

[Aero426]

What is the story on the document that the photo is part of? 

[nascarxx29]

I recognized the picture that matched the former Atwell car thats now Rarebirds .I found on this blog with that picture and description below

Plymouth Super Bird

Rare car but not a rare sight.  A lot of these cars sat on the dealer lot for a long time.  Big wing, nose cone, and a hot running big block were not exactly what everyone was looking for.  Now they command big money, but like a lot of low production muscle cars, they were not loved much when new.

Also I went through all blog postings old a new didnt see anything else wingcar related but found these and more FM3 70 RR on the showroom floor etc. Superbird on page  2

On moparts they seem to think the pictures originated from a high school yearbook
