WHAT A 1930'S DUESENBURG CAR DEALERSHIP SHOWROOM MIGHT HAVE LOOKED LIKE

WHAT A 1930'S DUESENBURG CAR DEALERSHIP SHOWROOM MIGHT HAVE LOOKED LIKE.

SOME PEOPLE WAIT A LIFETIME TO FIND A GREAT CAR, SOME FIND IT WHEN THEY ARE A TEEN, AND WAIT A LIFETIME TO WON IT. MARK WAS A FORTUNATE RARITY, HE GOT BOTH THE CAR HE DESIRED 30ISH YEARS AGO, AND IT'S A BARNFIND 1969 GT 500 SHELBY MUSTANG

Mark's neighbor was an attorney that owned 3 Shelby Stangs, acquiring each as payment on cases, and this was the one he drove the most and damaged in the early 80's, and then parked it in the warehouse over his office.

Shelby Mustangs at the Dana Point Concours












Gran Prix by James Garner


the racing scenes are magnificent



one of the characters in the movie lives or stays at some place that has these representations of the race tracks in the Gran Prix circuit on the 2 storey wall in the staircase







below is the scene where James Garner's character drives some other characters wife home



 Naturally beautiful woman, Jessica Walter



 Hertz Shelby GT350 Mustang that James Garner's character drove as a commuter






below are examples of the multiple uses that VW vans were used for in the 60's... they were used for everything, advertising signboards, mobile mechanics tool boxes,



 this mobile gas station seems to be a converted bus

 more great cinematography


Now to the making of
 cool 1960's French helicopter, an Alouette


director Frankenheimer was a amatuer racer, Ferrari fan
James Garner was in the Carroll Shelby school of race car driving for a couple weeks, and Bob Bondurant was his personal trainer. Lucky!


a real GT 40 was used as a camera car. I've posted photos of this in the archives, and can't find them
