This is the best racing ever. Prior to computers, there really was no substitute for cubic inches. Tom was very busy with the 4.5 L2L steering and the 8" throw on the shifter. Put unneeded hair on my chest just watching it.
They were running T-Birds in NASCAR 1958-60, so it is historically accurate. I like that generation, although I admit it is a bit on the baroque side. The ugliest Birds were, IMO, 1980-82, which looked like a bloated Fairmont.
I love how the driver just bounces and slides through turns like he's driving a quarter midget on a dirt track.
