I wonder if that was supposed to be CS? He's well dressed.

CS did BK a few times but there were many places/companies where he could shuffle different assets. The tire company was his steady producer for all the time he owned it. He almost lost his Coupe when the guy who owned the Imperial Palace called his note. The guy running LV Speedway was married to the daughter of the Imperial Palaces owner. They got divorced and he got canned. The owner wanted his 2.5 million the SIL had loaned CS for the facility at the track (CS had never made a payment and guaranteed the loan with the Coupe). Kinda the same thing that happened in 67 when Ford took all the assets and trademarks of SA when his 1962 startup loan came due. I was always amazed he kept the last produced Lincoln convertible (1966?). Ford had given it to him.Some more "new" history? CS didn't have 2 nickels to rub together in 1975. He was surviving and paying the bills from what his GoodYear race tire franchise was earning.
Wow, under these circumstances, it is surprising he held onto his 3 iconic Cobras.
Many would have cashed them out.
