Re: Festival of Speed Pics

Nice picture of the CanAm cars! I see just the nose of a car I worked on in the sixties, the Caldwell D7 diven by Sam Poseywith #1 painted on the nose. That car sat around for years until Sam donated it to a museum. It seems the museum got it running again. Sam drove it at Lime Rock a few years ago. As usual, it didn't run well, but great to see it out on the track again. One day at work, Autodynamics Inc., Ray Caldwell told me to take all the Caldwell D7 part, moulds, chassis and anything D7 I could find around the shop through it all in the company truck and take it to the dump! When I asked if I could have all the D7 "stuff", he changed his mind. I shouldn't have asked and just take eveything home. Oh well, one of life's many mistakes! That was as close to owning a CanAm car as I will ever get I guess. Got any more pic's of the Caldwell D7?
