Great pic! What many people didn't realize was that James Garner did his own driving in that series, as well as driving in one of the all time classic racing movies "Grand Prix". Garner also drove in the Baja series (off road) in a 1970 Oldsmobile 442.
In later years, he was a spokesperson for Oldsmobile. He appeared at the Oldsmobile 100th Celebration in Lansing back in 1997, and seemed to really enjoy being a car guy.
Some more pics: Garner's 70 442, his 68 Corvettes in a showroom, and appearing with the 1979 Trans Am Kammback.
