Anyone know??

The significance of this acr. Actually this is a 1:25 scale model, obviously not the real car! Who built it, who was the best know driver? Hope the pic comes out.

Bobby Isaac drove some races in a #99 ford

Palmbayer is correct... Parsons had a lot of success driving the #72 for L. G. DeWitt and even won the Cup in '73, but Millikan (in the photo) was Dewitt's last driver... Ran 31 races in 1979 and 1980... DeWitt's first driver was Big John Sears and Sprint Car star Jan Opperman made his only NASCAR start in one of DeWitt's cars finishing 8th at Pocono in 1974...

My guess for the #72 car is Joe Milikan

Gotta be the late Benny Parsons. Ran into him at breakfast a couple of times when I lived in NC and had a great and lengthy conversation w/him - one hell of a nice guy!

WE HAVE A WINNAH!!

Another neat thing about being at that race was that it was Dick Brooks' only win in Cup racing and that J. D. McDuffie led quite a few laps... the only bad thing was Larry Smith getting killed early in the race...

I also believe he drove a Ford, #27 for Banjo Matthews.

Dave.... being at that particular race is a cool part of history. Bobby was a very unique person, and one of my all time favorites.

In regards to Bobby Isaac never driving a Ford... He did... He was driving for Bud Moore in 1973 when he suddenly quit in the middle of the Talladega 500 because a "voice" told him to... I was at that race...
