  • Sorry to hear that. I have sent him a birthday card and two letters since December.

  • @54hasten recently he has been showing small signs of altimerzers.

  • I am sad that Fred is in a nursing home. I met him at a HM reunion at Charlotte in 1989. Was a hero of mine as a boy. I am a Ford man all the way, and he led the Ford charge. David Pearson is just 8 days older than Fred and in good health. What exactly is Fred's ailment. I would like to write Fred if possibly I could get an address.

  • Simply the best! If he had run a full schedule he would have won multiple championships. Ford paid him to sell cars, thats why he never ran at Bowman-Grey or Columbia Speedway etc.

  • Fearless Freddy, Flyin' Freddy, The Elmhurst Expess, and of course, The Golden Boy. Holman-Moody had a great driver and possibly would have won a NASCAR championship, had he not retired. He made racing in the '60s popular with Ford fans when it was factory support.

    1964-'69 was a bloody period in Motorsports with drivers getting killed from pushing their cars past their limits. Maybe Fred decided to quit before it got too dangerous along with Junior Johnson and Ned Jarrett. He was Ford.

  • @JuicyLips14

    yep the same nursing home i'm at bcv

  • My dad was a cop in Elmhurst in 1953. Ask Fred if he remembers Seargent John Tangrady. Dad said he gave Freddy a bunch of tickets.

  • what a lovely fella....too bad he didnt push on for years

  • He is now is in the nursing home, that i work at.
