Yes, I know I need to finish the Monte Shelton Rally story! Trust me, work is progressing behind the scenes… meanwhile entertain yourselves with this continuation of the CPotD theme: “name that race car”. This one *should* be pretty easy, and I have some fun additions about this car and this photo to add to it once details are revealed… both having to do with rallying in general, and the specific rally this weekend. Have fun with your guesses!
Dean Van Lines Spl, Offy 270-powered Indy Roadster. I think it’s a Curtis chassis, approx. 1961, but I’d have to check my books on that one. Oil tank on the side was there because back in the day no oil could be added during the race!!! Eddie Sach’s car, IIRC.
And the car next to it? Cooper Formula Junior….like my dad’s!
