Perfect timing here....by chance im in DF (Distrito Federal=Mexico City) and i had an apointment tonight with a car collector..a pal o mine wich i havent seen in more than a year...he wanted to introduce me a pal of him,age 71 and a very good conosseuer of the La Carrera Panamericana...he lived and was there in these years with many famous racers,especially the factory italian teams cause his aunt was renting a house to the italian LPC race manager....
so,when i asked about this special purpose built Caddy he perfectly remembered the car....he saw it many times and perhaps he has some pics of it too... Where is it now???He said the car has been lost during the years,disappeared or even destroyed...no current infos if still exist. This Caddy was built by Chapultepec motors,an used car dealer lot located in Mexico City on the same avenue (Avenida Chapultepec) with the purpose of having a flashy rolling advertisment...with good results indeed! Since i just met this gentleman he knows many stories and old fellas that partecipated at the original LPC (50/54) so we'll start to ask around and see what comes thru ....that's today news from Mexico fellas....
