This appears to have been taken the same day that another promo photo used by Mell-Gear. Anyone know the details? The reason I am curious is that I just got one of the Mell-Gear 5x7 cards from a neighbor. Her father used to work for Melling back in the early 80's. The card I have is autographed by Bill Elliott but it's far earlier then the fancy autograph he has used from the late 80's - now. There are subtle details that look the same so I am very confident it is genuine. I also got 2 Benny Parsons cards that were autographed around the same time period. This was the only site that I had found with similar pictures. The picture above shows more of the grill then the Mell-Gear card.
