Default I found a picture

As luck would have it, after whining "I've never seen a picture blah blah blah" I found one! Researching something else I was reading parts of the Walt Hansgen book (an excellent book BTW) and found a picture of the fairlane at Daytona. I also read that Augie Pabst drove it at 250K race at Sebring. There was a LeMans start and Augie got stuck climbing in the window. The rest of the field was away by the time he got it fired but by the end of the first lap he was in first place, it was that fast. Augie won the race and Walt finished 2nd in a H-M Falcon.

Anyway, here is the picture from the Daytona race. Note the Corvette Grand Sport, and Cheetah along with the Fairlane and Falcon.
