Can anyone identify the blue car in the last photo?
This was the color combination as delivered by the factory, first seen at Le Mans 1951. In between Elkhart Lake on August 26 and Watkins Glen on September 15 the car was repainted. This color combination can be seen on the color photo of Palm Beach December 8. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Interesting photos Ed. But car n°38 in your first photo is #14889. During practice, this car was n°38. For the race n°36. See the tape on the engine hood. On my third photo you can see the other NART car, #14141 with n°38. Same place, same race. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
John Surtees, had his F1 car shifter on the left to feel at home. branko Image Unavailable, Please Login
It sure looks like the pits at Atlanta from the many times I was there. The large hill, the folks at the guardrail appears to be above track level, and the last clue the truck says Atlanta (although they could have driven to anywhere). Al
Photo I took at the 1973 Montreal Auto Show of an Alfa 1750. Real or replica? Chrome wheels seem odd. I seem to recall the factory made some replica's but I haven't done any web research on the subject. Jon Image Unavailable, Please Login
That does look like a real one, with 1970's style restoration upgrades . Alfa and Zagato did make a 1750 replica in 1968 based on a Giulia chassis with the help of Quattroruote, the Italian auto magazine. This is not one of them. Tom Tanner/Ferrari Expo 2012-Chicago March 2012
Definitely not one one of the Quattroruote spiders by Zagato on a Giulia platform! The front brakes (mixed with the body style) imply that this is an 8C2300 rather than a 6C1750. With some time I can perhaps figure out which car this is likely to be. Somebody out there probably knows it off the top of his or her head?
not sure this one has been posted already. Came across it on a rather unguided google search. It shows 0846 rounding the Mulsanne corner during the 1967 Le Mans. Whoever put it on the net incorrectly refers to the car being dug out from the sand bank as a long tailed Porsche. It clearly is 365P2 s/n 0838 (Elphantino). apparently signed by Chris Amon.

And this rather sad picture. A seemingly contemplative Lorenzo Bandini shortly before the start of the 1967 Monaco GP. Unknowingly very close to his death. Copyright unknown. Image Unavailable, Please Login
That's the one! I used that picture for my Masten Gregory drawing, but I had to 'convert' it into it's 1966 livery. Image Unavailable, Please Login
