greg g Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Wonder if it is a Cunningham coupe. If so later roadster versions were run at LeMans with chrysler hemis with 4 deuces. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Lou....I think that was the one. Had a hemi as I recall. Rode in one in the 60s. Think it had Chrysler wire wheels also.

Guest rockabillybassman Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 I'll say a Simca Vedette. They had a V8 60 engine. Quote
