Did you reaize Carl Burris Drove the Coach more than Perk? Perk drove the coupe more than the coach.

There were 2 different coaches the #45 and the #45A. Perk drove the #45 from probably 1958 through 1965-66 when the coupe was built. Carl drove the #45A during that time until he went to the #04 with Donald Bryant.(About the same time the coupe came in). The #45A turned into the #46 due to NASCAR regulations and Paul Radford drove it primarily.Donald Bryant worked for Mason then decided to go by himself and Mason liked him so much he loaned him Carl Burris.Harold Smith said they still all worked together and he helped Donald build the #04.Carl probably did drive the #45 a few times,but he was usually in the #45A.
