Charger 500 Telegram from Bill France to Ford

Shown here is a telegram dated January 23 1969 from NASCAR's Bill France Sr. to Ford Racing Boss Jacque Passino. What this is likely about, is that Passino is questioning whether Dodge has really built at least 500 examples of the Charger 500. Bill France is replying and indicating he has reviewed the list of 540 Charger 500 cars, and called various dealers. He determined that the cars actually were available in the field and went so far as to give a specific dealer and price in nearby Toledo Ohio, along with an offer to purchase the car to prove it.
