    I assumed so but I was wondering what happened to the small secondary air intake between the windows. Also the screens in my picture are different sizes while in the 0348 they are the same.

    That's so cool, with just a slightly different angle you could make out my dad taking his pictures.

    This b+w picture of the #60 Jag taking the chequered flag is all over the internet and it's great to see a different angle and also the crowd (including the flag man) checking the car out afterwards.

    Hi Marcel and anyone interested in this great American race history, i.e., Corvette v Ferrari,

    My father, Jerry Earl, did get his Ferrari, that he owned, out on the track. As a matter of fact, I was just speaking to my uncle Jim last weekend and he said, "Jerry and his mechanic trailered it down to, I believe, somewhere near Cincinnati, Ohio to an SCCA sanctioned event. Unfortunately, the Ferrari broke down and Jerry didn't complete the race."

    Also, I did a presentation last weekend at the Elliott Museum in South Florida and whereby my talk came right after Luigi Chinetti. He and Jacqueline did a wonderful presentation/talk! I then followed with my Corvette v ************. Afterwards, Luigi and Jacqueline looked on their laptop and found the picture I'm showing here of my dad racing the SR-2 in Nassau, Bahamas in '58. Sometimes the truth just takes a while to emerge...

    Long Live the Motoramic Masterpieces!
