Have you ever seen one of these? Have you ever heard of the Indy Pacesetter Special? It was produced to honor the Indy 500 race, without being an official Indy pacecar. These special dual stripes were unique to the limited edition model. According to the owner, Fran, these stripes have been painted on, we think the original were reflective tape stripes. Features of this special included Scotchlite (reflective) stripes (possibly blue over black dual stripes), special rear grille (white taillight panel with blue stripes as shown here), sporty louvered hood with integrated turn signals, sport tires with the optional V8, bucket seats, blue interior vinyl trim, full carpeting, and full wheel covers with whitewall tires. We believe they all came in Wimbledon White exterior paint. Fran tell us the Marti Report on his car states that 324 were ordered by Allen County Motors of Fort Wayne, Indiana. We've found many newspaper advertisements about the sale of this car in 1967.

The stripes are light blue on top and black on the bottom. They are straight and come to a point on the front fender. This one has a V8 engine and two-tone blue interior.

Here are some photos taken of Fran's 1967 Indy Pacesetter when it was new back in 1967! The color of the stripes are not shown well in this photo. Fran says that the current stripes are painted on. The Pacesetter ads tell us that these are Scotchlite stripes. Scotchlite stripes are reflective and are probably vinyl. They may even be one decal containing both stripes, one on each side.
