History VINTAGE only La Carrera Panamericana Photos

I searched and have come up blank. However I am sure there are photos of the very early days of this race spread out all over the hamb. What I was hoping is that we could consolidate all the vintage photos (i.e.50-54) in one spot for our viewing pleasure.

 

Here's a few to get started:

 

great pics, lets see more. R.D.

 

Thats exactly what I was after... plus add more. those are sweet

 

Should I post my tech articles from '53 for ya?

 

go R.D.

 

Yep

 

Great pix, and lots of Studes.

 

I love this cadillac. I would love to see more of this if anyone has any.

Holy ****... I can't believe no one was killed in that pileup.

 

No ****... that is haggard. I mean, just safety belts and crash helmets... jesus

 

This has the makings of a fantastic post.

Good ol' Mexico... we need mas photos. Por Favor

 

The photo you posted of Hershel p***ing the other care was not taken diuring the race. It was a re-inactment done after the awards ceremony in Mexico City.

 

Lets see some of those Hudsons!

 

I love the panamerica stuff. Love seeing the old '50s sleds as race cars. Some of them are very cool and a good inspiration for a future build!

 

There is a do***entary being produced on this series and a link to the Trailer is here, along with some images from 1954:
