Title: Vintage Racing Cars in Kodachrome - Your Contributions are Welcome!
Post by: Otto Puzzell on September 16, 2012, 08:52:54 AM
In this thread, pre-digital pictures of race cars, taken before 1980. I don't know if all of these, or even some, were actually taken with Kodachrome. I'm not a professional photographer, so go easy on me.  ;)

Please add some of yours!

Otto,
All I can say is WOW !!!!
You know I am very much involved in historical racing and the fabulous creative race cars from a era which produced automobiles greatest known race drivers and cars>>
Congrats !!!!

Do you have these pictures in a collection?
Can I use some of these to post at another site?

BTW, I think the one picture of James Dean and his Porsche, is the one taken of him fueling up his Porsche, and maybe 20 minutes before he died in the traggic wreck.

Also, the picture of the Lotus Indy/formula car, do believe that to be Jimmy Clark, If so, I had and then sold, to a prominent museum,  the engine from the car. 289 Ford experimental X stamped, 4 bolt main plus much more.

Again, what a great topic post, please let me know if I can share these>> and if you own this fabulous collection.
Regards,
John

If I run into any that totally stump me, I'll let ya know.  I'm sure you know that it's just a time-consuming task....and my "free time" will become limited in about a week as I head for Oregon for a LSR reunion and some time with the Target 550 team, then back to Utah for a photo shoot, then possibly to Illinois and/or Ohio/Texas for testing the streamliner.  We were gonna test it at the "Mojave Mile", but that track (part of Edwards AFB) is being repaved and the March event has been cancelled.  I'm afraid that whatever I drive (mostly the Suburban) is gonna get a lot more miles on it this year.

Anyway, thanks for the offer.

Post by: kento11 on March 12, 2013, 01:54:04 PM
Thanks. The general consensus is that it is Sally Mason-Styrron.  It was taken at the Louis Vuitton Concours in 1999.

I don't want to grouse here, but think these pics should be moved to a featured topic on its own as they're (though very nice!!) not in that classic pre-70s 'Kodachrome' look.  :-\

Granted, they were taken with Kodacolor but I thought a previous entry by Woodinsight, a French hill climber might like to see them.  I present to you two Kodachrome mements:

To be honest, I don't know if these were shot with Kodachrome, Ektachrome or Kodacolor, Agfa or Ansco or whatever. They're just old color pictures of stock car racing and that's enough for me.

That's a mystery car.....will be a puzzle soon, I know very little about it....so may be we can solve it on Autopuzzles !
Title: Re: Vintage Racing Cars in Kodachrome - Your Contributions are Welcome!
Post by: mekubb on July 02, 2017, 01:09:28 PM
New information popped up about the red car, previously a puzzle from Saco https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2015-44/sac919-alfa-romeo-6c-2500-1952-(-castagna-)/msg355967/#msg355967

Recent research by IMRRC in the USA shows that the car is not Alfa Romeo based. It does have an Alfa 6C2500 engine and it is indeed bodied by Castagna. But.... the base car is a BMW, probably a 328. Of course this is quite strange because I assume that Castagna would never have bodied a BMW with an Alfa engine. Probably the BMW power unit has been replaced by the Alfa engine somewhere in history.

I have never heard of a Castagna bodied BMW that looks like the one in the photos. But may be my fellow Autopuzzlers can shed some light to this ?
