Fact or fiction? I don't know, but it is a top photo.

I'm upto about page 260 out of 600+ pages on that HAMB site...so many great shots there.

Here is one of mine... 1938 Australian Pontiac "Sloper" ad.

i got a new computer and lost my link to that site. do you mind posting the link here? thanks in advance.

I showed my Dad the shot of the GP car going down the highway and he recalled watching the GP cars out here for the Albert Park GP in the mid 50's driving on the street from a workshop in Carrum (which was way out in the sticks back then) to the track at Albert Park (an inner suburb of Melbourne). He saw Moss, Fangio etc. driving their GP cars on the street...that's pretty cool and I might not ever have heard it if it wasn't for this thread!
