1 of only 255 belt buckles ever made. This is an original Limited addition belt buckle from 1976 actually MADE from the Ayr Way Wire racing team Indianapolis 500 car # 93, driven by Johnny Parsons. This includes the original accompanying letter from Indiana Metal Craft. “This letter is to certify to you that we, the manufacturers of the 1976 Ayr-Way WIRE SPBCIAL belt buckle, produced the limited quantity of 255 pieces; first, ExcLUSIVE, only production run. The buckles do contain metal from the Ayr-Way WIRE Special, Car 93, and the 255 pleces produced for you are the only buckles ever to come from that now destroyed mold, We congratulate you on an exciting racing collector's piece, and wish your team success at the Indy 500” Inscription from the back of the buckle: “1976 LIMITED EDITION THIS BUCKLE CONTAINS METAL FROM INDY 500 CAR 93” Cars entered in the Indianapolis 500 certainly have had interesting, colorful names. One of my favorites was the Ayr-Way/WNAP “Buzzard” from 1975. This name may not make sense today – especially if you’re not from Indianapolis – but it was definitely a product of the times. Ayr-Way was a department store spun off L.S. Ayres, one of the top fashion stores in Indianapolis. Ayr-Way was similar to Target – in fact, many of the locations in Indianapolis became Target stores after Ayr-Way folded in the late 1970s. We often went to the Ayr-Way at 30th and Lafayette Road because it had just about everything – even a garden center. WNAP was a hard-rock station teeming with many interesting personalities; the buzzard was the station mascot. It was at 93.1 on the FM dial, so that’s why it was Car 93. This was very much an Indianapolis-centric team. In addition to the two local sponsors, driver Johnny Parsons lived in central Indiana for many years (perhaps even Speedway itself). He’s the son of 1950 winner Johnnie Parsons (note the different spellings) and originally was from California, but moved to Indiana to jump-start his racing career. The chief mechanic (remember those?) was Bill Finley, who basically built race cars out of his garage in Eagledale, a subdivision within earshot of the track. (My first house was in Eagledale on Fuller Drive. Carl Wilde School 79!) The team also had a second entry: Car 94, driven by Mike Hiss. Race day wasn’t the greatest for the team. Hiss spun out on Lap 39 and finished 29th. Parsons ran as high as fifth before transmission woes sidelined him after 140 laps. He finished 19th. Ayr-Way heavily promoted its involvement with the 500. In addition to buttons, there were posters, large ads in the Indianapolis papers (there were two of them back then) and even a timing and scoring chart with Parsons.
