    We found this at a yard sale and it appears to be in a museum.
    These look like Bonneville land speed cars with one at the front maybe an Indy car.The blue one at the back could be Craig Breedloves land speed record holder?
    I hope the photo is viewable.

    Looks like a shot taken at the Indy 500 museum. I visited there about five years ago.

    Two Sunbeam streamliners in front, I think. The blue car is the Cambell Turbine wheel driven car that set the record in Australia. Now held by the Turbinater of The vesco family. The car to the right is the Andy Green driven jet car that set the unlimited record. I don't know the open wheeled car. But as it seems they are all LSR cars it would be too.

    First car is Blue Bird.
    Malcolm Campbells' Sunbeam which had 550 Horse Power. He set a new record by driving his new Blue Bird at 146.2 MPH (233.86 KPH)
    You can just make out the SUNBEAM name on the hood(bonnet) of the car in the photo.
