ventura's in nascar
In the early 80's the Pontiac Ventura and it's sister cars, the Nova, etc... were used in Busch Series racing, unlike present day racing, where the same cars are used in Busch and Winston Cup. Here are a few examples of Busch Series Venturas.
Here is Dale Earnhardt's Wrangler Jeans sponsored #8 1975 Ventura preparing to take on 4 tires and some fuel. |

Notice how this car obviously does not have a vinyl top, yet it has the smaller quarter windows.... |

My personal favorite, Dale's GM Goodwrench Service sponsored '75. |
