Sports Cars Illustrated -- January 1959 - Part 4

Autobooks address (where it used to be the first time I visited).

Devin sold a set of 5 Borrani wire wheels with hub adaptors & knock-offs for $195.


Cool ski/luggage rack.

Motor Trend 100 years of the Automobile -- Part 6

The two cars on the right are essentially the same car.
One with an open wheel body and the other with a full width closed wheel body.

The Brabham on the left is a clean and good looking car. (unlike today's F1 cars)

The wagon that the 356 bodies are being carried on have Reuter written on the sides.  (Reuter was a coach builder who built the bodies for 356 (among other body makers).


I'm not sure that the tag line is a selling point...
