Thanks Tom. No, I wasn't there for the race. I was barely out of high school in 1967. And of course the photos aren't mine. Don't know who the photographer was, but the pics and the car belong to The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. just a tone's throw from Ford corporate headquarters and Henry Ford's Fairlane estate.
