Editor’s Message, Mrch / April 2026
Greetings, fellow Moparians,Spring is here and for us car crazies, it is what we have been waiting for. This past winter has been a tough one. Now, garage doors are opening, our Mopars are dusted off and fired up. I had mine out the other day. It felt good to crank the windows down, blast the radio and get out on the salt free roads.This issue, we welcome, once again, new members to our fold. Glad that you are with us to enjoy our passions with our collector hobby.Our feature article from Rich Truesdell is about Bobby Isaacs ‘71 K&K Insurance Dodge Charger Daytona and how it ended up with Tim Wellborn’s collection of Mopars. “Talladega to Bonneville”.Also, Chris Vitale has an article for your reading pleasure, Part 2 of his family affair with Chrysler Corporation, Making Impressions in 18 Gauge Sheet Metal.”Remember that WPC Clubs National Car Meet is just around the corner from May 27-31, in Farmington MN. Please try to attend, This event is a great way to showcase your wheeled passion, meet and make friends with like passions and experience the local car culture in the area.Club Regions please take note: We would like to publish news and events from all of our regions in the readerships circle. Many of us would like to know what is going on around the lands. Please send us whatever events you have coming up to do so.EDITOR’S NOTE:When I read Rich Truesdell’s article about the K&K Insurance Daytona,I realized that I saw this car just after the run that Rich described on the Flats. I visited with Tim Wellborn at his Museum in Alabama, in September, 2016. We talked about our passion, Mopars, for over an hour. I told him about my history with the marque and that I had a third generation survivor Charger, the likes of which made up a large part of his collection. We traded names and stories of people and events that made up Chrysler’s history. We talked about his new everyday driver, a Hellcat, which he couldn’t stop talking about.As he guided me through the museum and the shops that were behind the scenes, we walked past a loading dock, where in the trailer was this red Daytona. It looked like it was covered in snow and ice. (I did not know the history of the car), so I asked him about it. He explained that it just arrived from the Bonneville Salt Flats, where it had gone through a shakedown test, hence, the ice, or rather, salt, that covered the vehicle. The photo below was taken after it was brought into the shop and washed down. For me that was a cool experience, if you ever are down in Alexander City, ( not far from Talladega),Alabama, try to make arrangements to see the Welborn Muscle Car Museum .
Yours, in Mopar motoring,
Frank Pascoe, Editor
