I'm forever cleaning up my files  ::)

I came across this image, looks like a photo/video shoot, what is the story behind it ? '67 Brittany  Blue with parchment, and do we

know the car number ? Is this from one of those road rallys in the middle East ? I'm looking at the women in the back ground.

Gardner and Tremulis

Good ol' Garnder & Tremulis needed to think a bit more about names:
A "Coupe de Elegance", with the optional "Biarritz" top sounds a helluva lot more like a Cadillac than a Ford.
Current:
2006 FGT. Tungsten. Whipple, HRE 20s, Ohlin coil-overs, 3.90 gears. 210.7 mph.

Kirkham Cobra. 482-inch aluminum side-oiler. Tremec 5-spd.

Formerly:
1968 GT500KR #2575 (1982-2022)
1970 Ranchero GT 429
1969 LTD Country Squire 429
1963 T-Bird Sport Roadster
1957 T-Bird E-model 3-spd stick

Mike, that's the Pomona Fairgrounds' Dragstrip.  On the return road.  Starting line is to the far right, out of frame.

Thanks for the i.d. on that location, spectacular views from there ! Was that where they also had the road course for sports cars ?

I think that was Pomona fairgrounds, same place ?

Here's a pic of Dave and Sherry MacDonald in I believe CSX2128 ? at Pomona in '63.
