OK, so everyone knows the car in the foreground is a Ford GT40. Can you have a guess at the one in the right background is?
My dad went gaga when he saw it. He recognized it instantly… I was wondering if any of you guys do too.

Yep..it’s a Scarab…perhaps Lance Reventlow’s own?
It is indeed.
Wow…Lance’s own? I wondered where it went to….almost the “Holy Grail” of American specials, that!
I *think* the red car in the background is a Maserati, no? Hard to see it well enough….looks similar to Bob Sutherland’s, which I’ve seen in the flesh….
FYI: when I was a kid, in the mid-60s, I got to *see* and *hear* the “Meister Brauser” Scarabs of Reventlow and Augie Pabst run at CDR, the big track (now long-gone) south of Castle Rock, Colorado. Talk about warping the mind of a young, impressionable gearhead…!
I also saw a Birdcage Maser run and my first sighting of a 904 Porsche…Mom and Dad, wherever ya might be, I owe you a *huge* debt of gratitude!!!
