Big Oly Ford Bronco, winner of the 1971 Baja 500 driven by Indy 500 winner Parnelli Jones and and legendary Baja race car builder Bill Stroppe.

I grew up in a small town south of Seattle, and everyone here either drank Rainier or Olympa Beer. I would see "Powered by Oly" stickers on everything from hot rods to skateboards. Ray Charles even sang their theme song. My dad took the family on a tour of the Olympia brewery. Now both the Oly and Rainier Breweries have been shut down. They're owned by huge conglomerates and the beer they make is the same thing as all the other beers sold around the country. It's just not the same.
