"Eventually the ban on four-wheel drive was partially revoked for cars equipped with very narrow wheels (nine inch instead of fourteen for rear wheel drive cars). This was enough to convince Chapman to give it another go. Making this was made easier by the strong support from the Ford Motor Company and oil treatment supplier STP, who had a great motor racing enthusiast in their CEO Andy Granatelli. With the STP backing also came the driving talent of one Mario Andretti, who was personally sponsored by the oil treatment company. With the second and third car to be driven by Lotus Works drivers Graham Hill and Jochen Rindt, the STP-Lotus-Ford team had an abundance of talent in the driver seats


...Chapman and his chief designer Maurice Philippe decided to retain much of the Lotus 56 chassis, which had worked so well in 1968. The stressed skin monocoque, double wishbone suspension and four-wheel drive system were carried over. The big difference was found in the engine compartment where the turbine was no longer found. Instead it boasted the latest Turbocharged Ford V8 engine, mounted with the tail forward to meet the mid-mounted gearbox and transfer case. A single Garrett-AiResearch Turbo mounted on top of the gearbox boosted the power of the 2.6 litre engine to a staggering 700 bhp. This made the new 64 the most powerful Lotus built to date. It had been developed alongside the similar 63 that was headed for Formula 1 duty."

There's always a chance, I suppose. It was a black one, and it was pretty beat up by the time that race was over. Nobody in Louisville had much experience with the Figure 8 at that time. As I recall, he parked the car in the third turn and walked away. Or maybe that's where it just died.

First color photograph of an automobile, 1907. Like Denise Diplok,
we hadn't seen a genuine Autochrome for a long time, until Sylvian
showed the great old shots on page 2,182. Though cumbersome.
Autochrome was the chief form of true color photography until
easy-to-use color film became available in 1930s. I love them,
because they are real color photos and not hand-tints. Notably,
National Geographic, famous for publishing great color scenes,
long used Autochrome and maintains a color archive today.



Photo is thanks to Frostbyte Studios from a blog called ClassicAutomation.
According to the author, it is from 1907 and was probably the first color photo
of a car. It was photographed by Jean-Baptiste Tournassoud using the Auto-
chrome Lumiere process. The Lumière brothers patented the process in 1903
and was the most used for color photographic records until the mid 30's. The
author goes on to say that the car seems to be a Peugeot 116.

 

The earliest known Autochrome by John B. Trevor shows an automobile on a French road
ca. 1907. Photo thanks to Chris George of FansinaFlashbulb. Can somebody ID the car?
