I am sure that he possibly wore different sunglasses than the ones in this ad. I have been searching a long time online and this is the only reference with any kind of supported evidence that I have found so far.

I am sure that he possibly wore different sunglasses than the ones in this ad. I have been searching a long time online and this is the only reference with any kind of supported evidence that I have found so far. He is pictured in his racecar wearing Cool-Ray Polaroid Sunglasses.

I would add that they look like Cool-Ray Polaroid style 300 "Roadmaster" sunglasses. He must have a huge stash of them somewhere, since they always look fresh and they haven't made them since the 70's.

Yes, he does. Kyle Petty has three sisters. They are named Sharon, Rebecca and Lisa.

Richard Petty married his wife Lynda in 1958 and have four children (Kyle Petty, Sharon Petty Farlow, Lisa Petty Luck, and Rebecca Petty Moffit).

Richard Petty ran a Ford during the 1969 NASCAR season due to a dispute with Chrysler. In a bid to win Petty back, Chrysler developed the Plymouth Superbird, one of the most famous cars in NASCAR history. Petty switched back to Chrysler in 1970.

About $5 if it is in excellent condition. There are two versions, one with the #24 race car and one with Jeff Gordon's likeness. Both are worth the same. They came in a four pack with a cardboard carrier that also had Jeff Gordon on the carrier. That set can be valued at around $25 to $30.

No they are not related. Tom Petty has the same singing style as Dylan because he had lessons at a Dylan's singing school.
