Thanks for all your friendly answers ... GREAT
Seems like the Pic are made some difficult Questions ...
Only Thing it is for sure, the Pic was on LAX, Front Gate from Hangar 8 (Street Production), right after the front entrance...
Shelby rent LAX beginning in Januar 65,
and the car does not seems Viking Blue
First Race was the Daytona Continental on 28 Februar
second Race was Sebring 27 March
third Race was Monza on 25 April
all other races in 65 was in other countries ...
I think it's the first one. The leading edge of the roof is pretty flat which is how Pete Brock designed and built it. The other 5 bodies were done in Italy and they all had a higher leading edge on the roof. Pete Brock is amazing. He can look at any of the 6 coupes and tell you which one it is (and it's history) by the subtle differences in their hand made bodies.
Stephan:
Love your photographic historical research. What I also enjoy is studying the photos for minor details that reveal what performance cars and people involved with them were like 55 years ago.
For instance:
I wonder why they had stewardess models for the photo. Was it an airline promotion? And this was in the day when airline stewardesses wore designer uniforms and hats.
As for the Daytona Coupe, I notice the headlight appears to be a quartz halogen type, probably Cibie. The Cobra has sealed beams, since the quartz halogens were illegal in the US.
Note the tread pattern. It's very different than what you see on race cars today.
Finally, look at the wheel balance weights. Looks like a lot of weight was added. What's up with that?
Thanks a lot for your expertise, i am not seeing anything from rounder or flat edges, no my world
i am really happy when i see the tarmac from LAX in a photo
The Daytona coupes are all slightly unique from each other, but they also change individually from development over the 1 or 2 years as well (depends on the car).
I've have had a discussion or two about this photo in particular. I believe it to be csx2601 taken after it returned from Sebring where it raced, March 27th, 1965.
SFM66H (Kieth) had a photo with the caption noting it was at LAX in June '65 with the Robbins Sisters.
The photo had to be taken several days before April 25th, when it raced at Spa in Belgium.
It stayed in Europe all summer until at least mid August when it raced at the Coppa Di Enna in Sicily.
I'm not sure, but maybe your referring to a color illustration or sketch that shows the cars in different liveries.
after several hours in the net, i found what i seek ...
Decals for Daytona modelcars ...
sometimes Men make wonderfull work and overview
i tried to get higher qualitiy of the Pics, but what i see that on Sebring every Daytona listed in the skeetch
is wearing the Daytona Sign on the Fender.
