Always looked better in blue.

 

That's a fact.

 

i've always liked yellow race cars, but you're right on this one.

 

Jungle Larry smokin' 'em at LIONS. One of my fondest memories of the 60's!

Love this pic of the Flying Dutchman at Carlsbad. The paint on that car was really great under lights. Saw it at Capitol a couple of times at the King of Kings meets.[/QUOTE]

I marvel every time I see pics of this car, that it has been a race car so long and still doing well at it. Note the same # plate. Didn't this thing win "Pinks, Heads Up"?
