A white 1968 Camaro RS/SS 396 convertible was used as the pace car for the Gwyn Staley 400 NASCAR Grand National event that took place at North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina on Sunday, April 21, 1968. The race was won by David Pearson in his Holman & Moody 1968 Ford Torino.
Notice in these photos that the car is wearing red line tires and the convertible top is white. Also notice that behind the front wheel wells the words, "Gaddy Motor Co." appear. This was a Chevrolet and Buick dealer in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina. I wonder if this photo was taken in the backyard of someone who worked at that dealer? The letters and numerals inside the red decals look to be written in gold foil. They appear shinier than the other 1968 NASCAR Camaro RS/SS 396 convertible pace cars.
