La Carrera Panamerica, by Pink Floyd, the documentary of 1992

this video was a good look at the 1990's running of the race, and it included clips from the 1950's and 60's to show the history of the race. It did a good job of explaining what brought the race to being, and how it's changed. One of the most unusual cars that has been in the race is the above, which I think is a Cadillac with an airplane greenhouse mated to the top instead of the cars windows, A and C pillars, and roof

it appears in the video at minute 56 and 50 seconds , and 57 and 10 seconds

Lyn St James, icon... race car driver and I came across one of the race cars she's owned at Speedfest this year

Just consider how few people can race professionally, now think how few of them win, then how few have won the 24 Hours at Daytona, and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Lyn did that. She also earned a piano teaching certificate.

That is cool! http://www.lynstjames.com/about/

Cool hot rods from the LA Roadster show 2012

These may be genuine Woodlite headlights, as hard as that is to believe, but I don't think anyone is making reproductions. They look pretty damn good on a hot rod though!
