VINTAGE SHOTS FROM DAYS GONE BY! (Part 2)

is that a talbot - lago Rootie?

 

It is, Bob Estes' road racer in the 50s

 

Looks like the Pomona Fairgrounds underpass past the end of the drag strip.

 

I had to dig around some but it turns out that Estes himself won some SCCA events in this car. Ken Miles also won driving the Estes Talbot-Lago.

All new information to me.

Thanks, Rootie.

 

Pontiac engine assembly, 1955.
