Toney Russell’s “Low Mad” Chevy station wagon was at Montgomery with a new red paint job replacing its familiar yellow hue. Alabama’s Greg Holt was behind the wheel. When Russell found the car about eight years ago, the previous owner had actually built a room around it in his house and they had to take down a wall to get the car out. (Ian Tocher photo)
