Before the May 10th Kent races and possibly after the March 21st 12 hours of Sebring race this Team photo was taken. "Gurney for President"
The photo was published in the May 67 Car and Driver issue. Does anyone know that exact DATE when the photo was taken?

I'm not 100% certain this is the same Ford HD1000 COE cab seen in the previous race photos.
This Ford cab has a white front bumper with lights mounted under it. The previous cab had a black front bumper with the same lights mounted under it.
I suspect this photo was taken in Venice so everyone could get in on the fun.

Here's the second b&w image, to big to fit both in one post.

Mike

ps: I did some digging and  think I know the link ?  that is the Corvette from Bill Bader (later Crest) Chevrolet in Fontana. I believe Dave MacDonald (is it the same one who steered Cobras ?) drove it, or another  at one time ?

Dave MacDonald did drive Corvettes before driving Cobras.

Also a great casual photo of Jerry Titus, don't see many of him relaxing.
With a couple left over SCG jackets.

....Cheetahs in post # 82 at Augusta. .....both were a DNF, ..
Good idea that didn't work out Titus called it the gyro when he drove one.

By my count there are about 50 people.

Could they all be employees in March/April of 1964?

Other than the '59 Fiat Bartoletti used overseas in Europe, those ramp trucks are both just creations of what could have been, but never were.

This photo on April 26th at Riverside shows repairs have been made to the front of the box trailer.
(I just noticed the tarp on the front of the damaged trailer in the March 4th Augusta photo.)
The King Cobra is CM/1-64

Here's the May 64 Kent photo again. (Most of these photos are from the Dave Friedman / Henry Ford Collection)
