Pro-Touring Mopars seem to be a recent phenomenon. Late 60s Camaros seem to have been some of the early canyon carvers.
However, in 1968 I was traveling down McDowell Road between Scottsdale and Phoenix. Over the crest of a hill popped a 1963 Savoy Plymouth post car. It had a max-wedge hood scoop. What made it really unique is it had deeply dished steel wheels and what looked to be NASCAR tires. It was lowered and had the fenders flared to cover the big meats.
It made my heart go pitter pat. That guy was ahead of his time.
BTW in the mid 60s we used to go to a farm implement store in Shenandoah Iowa and buy treaded Goodyear NASCAR tires. They were new or like new and cheap as dirt. The farmers bought them for floatation tires for their trailers to go over freshly plowed fields. We put them on a 64 Falcon cheapie post car with a six and three on the tree swapped for a 289 4-speed. I guess this was a bit of a pro-touring car.
