Where can I find one of these?

In an effort to get my '40 even closer to the original, I'd really like to locate one of the unique front clip ornaments that were on display at Sebring in 1967. I suspect it's some sort of aerodynamic aid with styling reminiscent of the 1958 Cadillac Fleetwood.

Good Lord! That must affected the handling - I wonder how she was serviced during the pitstops?

Trust me...even if you could arrange to get one of those for FREE...the long term costs involved with having one would bust ya...so to speak.

Very high maintenance costs, all!

Unfortunatley more photoshop work!
Look at the picutre of Marilyn Monroe next to the Corvette, how do you have different amounts of shadow for her front leg & the car!!

Fill in flash will do that.

The bigger shock to me is that the race organizers let the '40 drive around with Miss Dors (who has a very interesting biography) on the front and trophy girl on what looks like a Zagato's roof.

I'm still trying to get to grips with the model standing on the MKII hood and how she managed to keep her hair in perfect order at speed....

Did you check the publishing date of the article? April 1, 2015

Left the car for 5 minutes and when I came back somebody had stuck a similar hood ornament on the car but on wrong end.

Nice one Mike, would you consider that part of the spoiler?

By the way, if you don't use the fill in flash, you get this...



Sadly, Malcolm's keen eye for the April 1st date gave things away...
