If television shows in the early 60s had been into sponsoring NASCAR vehicles, Jimmy Pardue would have had it made. Fred Gwynn, who later went on to to fame as Herman Munster, at the time Pardue was driving his Ford #54 was starring in the hit television series "Car 54, Where Are You?"
Pardue added the word "Car" beside the top left of his #54 door number and the phrase, "Here I Am" beside the bottom right of the door number.

Darned, PK... I was part of placing that deal together, originally as a test program with Morgan Shepherd and then as a deal with Hut Stricklin and Rod Osterlund. I did the press conference in Talladega with the giant robot ketchup bottle roling around the Winston Cup Garage talking to drivers.
I made the presentation in Pittsburgh to the Heinz Marketing Department to secure them coming into NASCAR and there was a huge thunderstorm that knocked out the power at the airport Marriott where I was staying. Showered, shaved and dressed in the dark before going to corporate headquarters for my presentation.
Talk about brain fade!
