Gran Prix by James Garner


the racing scenes are magnificent



one of the characters in the movie lives or stays at some place that has these representations of the race tracks in the Gran Prix circuit on the 2 storey wall in the staircase







below is the scene where James Garner's character drives some other characters wife home



 Naturally beautiful woman, Jessica Walter



 Hertz Shelby GT350 Mustang that James Garner's character drove as a commuter






below are examples of the multiple uses that VW vans were used for in the 60's... they were used for everything, advertising signboards, mobile mechanics tool boxes,



 this mobile gas station seems to be a converted bus

 more great cinematography


Now to the making of
 cool 1960's French helicopter, an Alouette


director Frankenheimer was a amatuer racer, Ferrari fan
James Garner was in the Carroll Shelby school of race car driving for a couple weeks, and Bob Bondurant was his personal trainer. Lucky!


a real GT 40 was used as a camera car. I've posted photos of this in the archives, and can't find them

Streamlined COE fuel tanker of unknown make built for Gilmore, 1935, either by

Good looking rolling advertisement, some think it was a White designed by Count de Sakhnovsky, and others think it was designed by Wellington Everett Miller

the above 2 photos are from Steve, and he looked up this tanker, and these photos were taken during the Yosemite Economy runs, 1936-38

I finally stumbled across some new photos of the 1937 REO fuel tanker


found on http://www.cardesign.ru/forum/diskussii/obschenie/1352

the only other image I ever came across was in 2009: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/02/there-may-never-be-day-in-future-when.html and since all 3 images show the REO with the same side marking advertising Super Plume Ethyl, I suppose it's the only one vehicle in these 3 photos
