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...
Ferrari, VW/Porsche & Ducati
Looks like Shelby in 98.
Maybe John Edgar in car # 78?
Distinctive Palm Spring background.
About 65 years ago...
The car that Shelby is sitting in just sold in Monterey for $22M.
The beetle and it's offspring.
Just missing the bus.
