About the only thing he did wrong was getting Paul Morris started in racing
Edit: The Sports Sedan was a Chev Corvair which was probably what you saw at the farm Blue, although he may have run a Camaro at some stage.
The Corvair didn't debut until 1976. well after the farm closed. Bluesports recollection of Frank racing the Camaro would be about right.
