Amazing story, and glad to see this historically significant racer being preserved.

EXCELLENT read, Thanks for sharing!

I was glad to learn what "F3L" stands for, as I had always wondered about that.

The shape of this car (and those wheels!) has always worked for me - so beautiful, swoopy and futuristic. I marvel at the skill and imagination of minds who can "see" something like this and bring it to fruition. Len Bailey's previous masterpiece sure set the stage for the P68.

The article didn't say how many of these cars were made, does anybody here know?

Thanks,
Kieth
