Just imagine what this sounded like....

Thanks for the early Christmas present Michael. Fascinating photos indeed! A time when you could drive your race car to and from the track. Mike

Thanks Mike--

It is very interesting to study the variations in oil coolers, fresh air brake ducts, wheel flares, and some interesting attempts at aero in these images.

Michael.

Looks like one even has the hideous fastback hard top.

Interesting how all the cars in the Japaneese races are running steel wheels, while the U.S. Cars are using alloys. I'm sure our strong economy had something to do with how much better prepared the American cars were.

i loved seeing the plethora of right hand drives all at once!

Michael THANK YOU!

I think I nearly passed out too much good stuff at once!



wait





for




it...







1500s ARE TERRIBLE and SLOW AS #*$&$!

Looks like most of the Japanese cars liked to race with hardtops (maybe class specific) I'm not writing a book ...

Bob Sharp and team liked no top and short windshield. Wonder which was better ... ho hum ...

I liked the Surrey top on the 1500 in the first picture at the back. Window at the rear and no top. Oops, its a TR4, hence the Surrey or targa top. Anyways, I think these would work great on a Datsun.
