Building off the success of last year’s Sweepstakes, which saw one lucky winner ride off in a totally customized ’32 Roadster Pickup built by Troy Ladd of Hollywood Hot Rods, Inc., this year the Raybestos Brake & Chassis Sweepstakes takes it to the streets.
Raybestos Brake & Chassis, in collaboration with the industry’s top designers, performance brand parts and Chicagoland’s Hot Rod Chassis & Cycle, is building from the ground up, a true American legend: the 1964 Pontiac GTO-R. Reminiscent of the days when races began with flags, this 700HP classic, built with modern Hot Rod Chassis & Cycle chassis is a GM muscle machine that screams 60’s style and performance.

Dean Trost of McVille, N.D., was the winner of the Hollywood Hot Rods Signature Edition Matco tool chest in the Raybestos ’32 Roadster Pickup Sweepstakes promotion.
Trost, the owner of D&M Service, was randomly drawn from a national pool of professional technicians who entered the 2010 sweepstakes by purchasing a Raybestos ’32 Roadster Pickup Sweepstakes promotional kit. In addition to their entry ticket, technicians also received: an oversized, limited edition ’32 Roadster Pickup tin tacker sign, retro banner, promotional poster, promotional countercard, five hot rod t-shirts and two sets of brake pads.
“It doesn’t happen very often that a big national brand makes its way to McVille,” said Trost. “Winning this tool chest was a real surprise.”

Throughout history, the Oldsmobile story has inspired many automotive historians with its rich and celebrated heritage which started right in Michigan’s capital city of Lansing.
I remember a particularly exciting year in 1978 when Oldsmobile introduced their new line of vehicles and automotive catalogues to the buying public. My first impression was that Oldsmobile was using 1978 to create a family-oriented lineup of new cars. The company used its advertising and marketing to highlight many traditional family values
The year 1966 was a great year for automotive sales in the U.S. Many car manufacturers were doing very well for the economy and in 1966 the average cost for a new Dodge vehicle sold for $ 2,280 and the price of gasoline for 32 cents a gallon.
The Chrysler Corporation was also doing very well within the automotive markets with its popular Dodge Dart models. The 1966 Dodge Dart models made their debut in Dodge dealerships on September 30, 1965.
