I had trouble posting a pic, and lost my text about 5 times in a row.

So I tried it this way...


This might be a bit obscure, so I'll throw in a couple of clue's

VW #9

Which well known car was this? ( its not Herbie )

Which Grand Prix driver was behind the wheel?

Who is he chasing?


A point for each question...

Good one... :)

But no, its not the BiMotore...



You are close though...
 Like Emerson, this Driver also was a Racecar constructor, and a driver in F1 and at Indy.

I'll guess it's Dan Gurney in the European Motor Products (EMPI) Inch Pincher 1956 Volkswagen Beetle, chasing AJ Foyt, at Nassau
