Great old photos! When looking at the photos and the evolution of the top wing got me thinking, when/what year approximately did front wings become standard on the sprinters? Early 1980's?....

For every eye catching wrap that emerges from the trailer week after week may look great at 5 feet, but from the grandstands usually many sponsors names are unreadable.

I'm not a "restoration nut" by any means, but what a way to destroy what i consider the most beautiful American production car!
Oh wait, I thought that was a 57.... roof & front looks different
If its a 58, I take back my comment
56 & 57 were gorgeous!

I saw the same thing and asked the same question lol. I grew up in Clovis CA and there was a Denny's at Blackstone and McKinley in Fresno (Kearney Bowl was a few miles away) since the dawn of time, I always thought it was the original but who knows.

From Wikipedia: "Denny's was founded by Harold Butler and Richard Jezak, who opened Danny's Donuts in Lakewood, California in 1953.[4] In 1956, a year after Jezak's departure from the 6-store chain, Butler changed the concept, shifting it from a donut shop to a coffee shop with store No. 8. Danny's Donuts was renamed Danny's Coffee Shops and changed its operation to 24 hours. During the 1950s, Los Angeles architects Armet & Davis created a new prototype building with a boomerang-shaped roof that became a model for stores built all over the country. They also designed a second prototype in 1965 with a zigzag shingled roof. These designs enabled googie architecture to spread across America. Many Denny's locations were built near freeway offramps, leading to increasingly larger signage.[6] In 1959, to avoid confusion with the Los Angeles restaurant chain Coffee Dan's, Butler changed the name from Danny's Coffee Shops to Denny's Coffee Shops. In 1961, Denny's Coffee Shops was renamed Denny's"
