Love the Chaparrals.

The introduction of Jim Hall's pedestal mount rear wing changed American motor sports forever. In 1966 when the Chaparral 2E was introduced, the other teams, as well as the media, weren't sure what to make of them. But the fans loved it, and in just a few short years, wings became standard issue in Can-Am and quickly made their way to Formula 1, and eventually finding their way to NASCAR via the 1969 Dodge Daytona.






The last photo is the Lola T260 car nicknamed the "cow catcher". Wings were now getting out of control as designers and engineers began to understand ground effects, downforce, and aerodynamics.

Here are a couple connected to the GTO I finished a year or so ago for my cousin. He has owned the car since 1970.

Shortly after he got it in 1970:



This is a collection of random snapshots over the years he drove and raced the GTO before it was parked.

i looked them up and their grills don't swoop up like that. I've never seen a grill like that before.

Question Did someone say Dynamic Duo...

Here's another what Model question.
I'm sure it will be obvious, once one of you point it out, put I can't place it.

Looks like a '66 2+2 to me.

I think you nailed it.
The center of the '66 dash is raised on AC cars isn't it?
The Vent/Wing window is also looking 2+2.
Also just noticed the PS wiper placement.

Good Call, I just couldn't place it.
