Nice photos! Is that James Dean? I live an hour away from where he died in his car. I can't remember the name of the town off hand, but it's on the way to the coast.

All good pics. Back in the day when cars had "hips" and grilles like "faces" that gave them an identitiy!

Who obviously doesn't stay up late enough to get in a reasonably timed 'parting shot'. But I do have a few in mind wink.gif .

Ya, well, after that last Shuttle launch, you need to catch up on your sleep! tongue.gif

Do share what you've got. The only rules for the "Parting Shot For The Day" thread is, THERE ARE NO RULES! laugh.gif

I've got some more that I've collected over the years that have nothing to do with cars. I also seem to be drawn to the older stuff. wink.gif

Take care all,

David

In that case, here's my parting shot from work today...
One of my favorite race cars from the 70's. Can anybody tell me what it is? tongue.gif

Since Scott mentioned him earlier I figured I'd put up these. About a month or two before he passed away Paul Newman took his GT1 Corvette around Lime Rock for the last time. This is the car, supposedly there was someone following him on track in a chase car that also belonged to him. I have never found any pics of that car but it was his Volvo Station wagon...With an aluminum Buick V8 in it!





FWIW these pics were not taken the day he took his last ride. These are from an SCCA National at Lime Rock in 2005 according to the photographer.

I met him twice, both times at Sebring, once at a Firehawk race in 1987 and a year later at one of our SCCA National races. A gentleman both times.
