Getting closer, as discussed, Indy is correct, now add that Swede Savage is also correct, as is 1972. However that is not the stated model car in the picture.Quote:

That is not the car name quoted in the photo caption, Swede Savage did not qualify in this car, he was in the field in another car (your Eagle).Quote:
