This is just a side note regarding Gary Cooper's car shown here. Way back around 1982-3, my wife, two little boys and I went to the Briggs Cunningham museum in Orange county. We got the BEST personal tour from the curator, Mr. Burgess, when he found out I knew the engine builder of the GT40 Ford in the collection. Basically, got to sit in many of the old cars including the SJ roadster. He even fired it up right in the building with me in it. Way to nice a man, I'll never forget his kindness to us as we were total strangers to him. The cars were driven around the area every so often to keep them oiled. Must have been nice to have worked in that couple of blocks. Steve K.
