It's clipped and the rest of the streamliner is on their banner, it's a cool photo

For a gallery of about a dozen: http://nostalgiaonwheels.blogspot.com/2008/03/hmm-i-wonder-if-these-were-just-iron-on.html

For a restoration story on the hauler, and a video from inside it where Don drove a couple reporters to lunch: http://www.nhra.com/blog/dragster-insider/page/10/ just a 1/4 of the way down the page, since the direct links don't work 
To see a great interview that Jay Leno did of Don, this Cuda, and transporter: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/01/jay-leno-talks-to-don-prudhomme-about.html
