Thank you for sharing these gems. So much feeling and detail to absorb in each photo.

 

Cool

 

I love the unchopped 3 window. I hope that is 200MPH tape.

 

In 1954 this was the Leroy Neumayer, Reed Brother’s cl*** C Lakester Ardun/Merc 215.18 mph.
In August 1955 John Donaldson crashed this car and became Bonneville’s first fatality. After this all tanks would have roll bars.

 

So much to absorb and process. You have to be ready for this. I need time.

 

I'm pretty sure guys this is Bonneville's first 200mph Dooslammer.
