Gold Rush 49 Iconic for sure

Bob Wearing's yellow "Yenko" #1

[GQFlash44]

Morris Partain's gold cars with the orange 87 with numerous drivers over the years were always one of my favorites. I would say they were Iconic in the southeast. RIP Morris!!

Bob Wearing's yellow "Yenko" #1

Was going to mention Mr. Invitational

[FastEd95]

Ed Sanger's famed yellow Camaro's of the 1970s.

[Zonks32x]

Chub Frank's 2010 World 100 car

I know the results were not always there especially, the last few years...but Chub's cars/designs along with the #1 with the star on it, always made his car easy to spot/recognize...and thus imho iconic

Can't argue with Bloomer, both the 18 and 0 cars
Moyer
Purvis
Rocket house car
Flinstone Flyer
Eckert raye vest car
T-mac's sweeter's plus car....that scheme has been on his cars a long time

Lots of great responses!!

Great choice on the 1 star car. My personal favorite was the white 1988 Charlie Swartz car with the red # 1 with the star in the middle. I think that what made it look so well was the NDRA front end. Also I liked the long low, red #4 car with the fiberglass roof and the 427 school bus engine before that.

The topic is “iconic dirt cars” which to me means more than just late models. Some great LM suggestions have been given here already but two non LM cars jumped right into my mind.

The first is Wayne Larson’s early 90’s Superman scheme on his IMCA mod when he was pretty dominant.

The second is arguably one of the prettiest graphics schemes in any form of racing and that was the black and gold that Sammy Swindell ran when he had the TMC sponsorship. Simple, sharp, memorable... not over done. That to me will always be one of, if not the sharpest looking racecars regardless of division you’ll ever see.

I like simple and am fond of guys who sort of keep a similar theme to keep them recognizable. Jimmy Mars was mentioned and it just doesn’t seem right to see him in anything but white with blue lettering. His red car is a bit odd and there’s no need to bring up the way his car looked when he had the Stacker 2 deal. That just seemed bizarre and still does.

Two regional guys that stand out to me are the way that Jake Redetzke has stayed true to what his dad ran. Main color might change from year to year but there’s still familiarity in his 2018 look as there is to what his dad ran 30 years ago. The other is Pete Parker before he got the Potawatomi sponsorship. It was basic regardless of color. Red, blue, white, and black. Black was predominant and it was simple. Reliable Welding was on the rear quarter panel, Don’s Auto Sales was on a sail panel and the other sail panel had Jeff and Paul (his sons) as his crew. That was it. When that car showed up he was always going to be in the mix. Other names appeared on his car over the years but there was something alluring about seeing that black number 10 pull into a racetrack.
