As far as I recall, it was Tyrrell, not Lotus that had the 6 wheeler.

Holy crapolie this batch is awesome. Thanks to all of you that are posting these. Like living my life over again.

 

It sure is nice to see all these amazing images rolling in again! Thanx, Gary.

 

Some details from the book Road Racing Specials, published by Vintage Motorsports Mag in 2003. The Studebaker Excalibur Hawk coupe was designed by Brooks Stevens, and had tube chassis by Bob Webb. It was tested in Aug 1963 at Elkhart Lake where it had brake overheating and fuel starvation problems. It was entered the following month in the Road America 500 but it still had those same two problems, then broke a track bar bolt, and was retired after 100 miles. Supercharged Stude R2 motor like in the Avanti. At the time the book was printed, the car had been restored by Mr. Bob Shaw and even raced a few times. Gary

I'd copy the article but the book is too big and the gutter prevents a good scan. I think the Avanti looked a lot better, eh? So did the folks running Studebaker. Ha. Gary

 

WooHoo! We are back on track now! Haven't checked this thread for a couple days, took a while to catch up. Thanks for all the posts!

 

Thanks again swi66, re. #90903; second and last shots - Thomas McAvoy sent to record Grace Kelly's wedding for Life, managed to cover not just a Grand Prix but apparently visited Maranello earlier, and caught the conversion of the D50 Lancias into Ferraris ... and T-head, isn't that a Benz?

 

Thanks SWI66 for the memories! Sunday....Niagara!!!

 

Probably texting while driving

 

OK, sylvian, what's the history on this beauty?

 

Love the old Kodachrome pix!---Wonder if this was taken at the NAA facility in El Segundo,Ca. during WWII??

 

Frank Sinatra's Dual Ghia.

 

1960-1962 GHIA L6.4
Only 26 were built, but they got into the right hands-including those of Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra.

 

Thanks to everyone posting the pics that have got this thread back on track. Here's a couple of Vintage Vancouver.
