Hello,
not much going on in this Thread ...
But i will finish my work on LAX, after that i will just post for fun ...
Hangar 9 was for a long time my a struggeling puzzle in my head ... i looking of all the pics and dont found out,
how all pics come together.
But after weeks, days, hours i have a solution for all this and its a little bit like it is in Carter Ave. Building
The Action is on the Backside and not on the Frontside ...
But enough from just words, lets have a look...
right when you go from Sales Office into the big gate of Hangar 9 you will enter a "Show Area"
in an Newspaper Articel from 13 June 1965 in LA Times, (yeah i even study Newspaper article for Pics and Infos)
just a few days after "Open House Event"
it is be titeld that in this Aera was for Promo Ads from Pre-Production Cars
Surley a most knows Pic is again from
George Watters Collection, it was from Open House Event, Day 2, Monday 7 June 1965
"Ford Director of the Board" Meeting, including Henry Ford II
and it is shown this magic 66 Prototyp with this Front Grill Sign ...
I am faczinated from these Pic and even this hole Open House Meeting.and it was even the first pic for all the Research Work on Hangar 9
on this Enlarged Pic, you can Read a 13 on the Pillar, on the Pic befor over that stand CB
So, for me was the main point --- all the Pillars have standing some Letters and numbers
After a really long time in Research i found this stunning pic in a book ... an now the hole magic begin
Another Pic from another angle from exactly this Ford Director of the Board Meeting
this was a really happy moment for me...
We can see so much deaitls, even more cars standing in this circle (Sunbeam Tiger), a large Display behind the crowed
and we see CB 14 to CB 16 on the Pillars to the Gate.
(Note that the Timecode Date is wrong, Pic is not taken in April! )
After Show Car Area was a large Section Wall to the Race Car Shop Area ...
on this Pic we can see a Cobra standing right befor the Section wall, on the Pillar is CB 10 written
After the section wall, or even from the backside of the Hangar (Boy, that took long befor i understanding
the fact that the Hangar has 2 Gates to come in, blind from all the Pics like a child in the candy shop)
was the Race Shop (Prototyp Area too) ...
there are some well knows pics again and so i will starting with these ones
we are standing in the Hangar, middle of the RaceCar Area and looking at the gates again.
the pic is made at the same moment as the one befor, we see only Shelby converting to "R" Models
and in the Front is 5S003 converting back to street configuration to be later sold ...
Note the Details: on the Pillars standing CA 1 - CA 3
(Funny Fact: Note the big "COBRA" Banner on the Wall)
(Source is

on this Pic later made on LAX History, and even in beautifull Colour, we can see the same Angle of shooting
with different Cars, the Notchback Hardtops befor transformed for Trans Am Racing and the Spoiler Prototyp SFM 5 S 319 behind
the Notchback
(Funny fact: the COBRA Banner ist gone , but where the heck it is ? in a Garage, in a living room we would do this nowadays ?
No it Hanging right under the roof
from Hangar 9)
Now comes some (bad) Screenshots from the Shelby Goes Racing with Ford Promo Video
this will get us a overlooking of the Inner side befor the section wall and from left (CB Pillar Side) to the right (CA Pillar Side)
here we have a clear look without Mr. Shelby
in the middle stand a little working office like in Carter Ave Building in the middle of the working area
and for last my simple skeetch overlook
These are the last pics will be post in directly order to have this "Overlooked" ...
to my research work i found and lucky find every day some new pics shooting on LAX
and i will post them in this Thread just to have see whats going on LAXSo what you think ? Tell me your thougts
