One question!!!

[Bill Musarra]

This actor of the 1960s never won an Acadamy Award but was nominated once. He did however, design and patent a low slung race car seat in 1969 called the "bucket seat" from the French word, baquet, meaning cockpit. His personal cars included a Porsche 917, 908, and 356 Speedster. He also owned a Ferrari 512, 250 Lusso Berlinetta and a Jaguar D-Type XKSS right hand drive.

Who is he????

I will post the answer on Wednesday. I will be on call at the hospital tomorrow for 24 hrs. Post your answers/guesses and we will see who knows their trivia. This was the final Jeopardy question tonight. Only one of the three contestants knew.

This was his Lusso. What a car! This was taken at it's first "big" post-restoration outing at Pebble Beach in 2005.
