How about that view of Tiny Lund's #188 Petty Engineering Olds at 9:50!
And good timing with this video find. I stumbled across a honeypot of photos from 1957 speed runs and the race at the beach on Getty Images last night.

After watching the beach trials and the Speed the Pontiac turned 140+ mph goes a lot to saying just how smart our early mechanics were... BUT dont leave out that lone #3 chevy who was flying and tuned by none other than, only he took it a tick to far for 500 miles
Finishing 6th in the 57 beach race was the #43 Petty Engineering Olds driven by ... Bill Lutz. He's shown here racing eventual second place finisher, Johnny Beauchamp. Trailing Beachamp is Tiny Lind in the Petty 188.
