PPG Cars

I've photographed the blue car in years-past, but the white one is new this year. It is another one of the PPG Pace Cars; the red one, but unfortunately it wasn't as well-preserved as some of the others. If I remember correctly, these cars could not have a title issued once released from PPG; some went to museums or private collectors, while the red one went to a school for use as a paint mule. I didn't get a good shot of it (Fierorama, for some reason, is always a bad show for shooting pics), but there is a section on the rear where the current owner buffed-down the many layers of paint until finding the original red.
